Alabama received a boost in the secondary on Wednesday. Florida State commit and 2024 safety Rydarrius “Red” Morgan flipped his commitment to Alabama. He became the fifth defensive back to have committed to the Crimson Tide as a part of the 2024 recruiting class.
Morgan is the second safety to flip to Alabama in as many days. On Tuesday, Georgia commit Peyton Woodyard flipped his commitment to the Crimson Tide.
Morgan had been committed to the Seminoles since July 4. Alabama hosted him for a three-day unofficial visit at the end of July cookout. It was then that Morgan realized that Alabama was the school for him.
When speaking with TideIllustrated’s Brandon Howard, Morgan had the following to say:
“After I went down there for my visit, Alabama was all my mom could talk about,” Morgan said. “When she was feeling like that, I knew it was only a matter of time.”
Now, Morgan will have the opportunity to play closer to home and team up with high school teammate Isaia Faga in Tuscaloosa.
