Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide will continue what seems like an age-old tradition of a high-quality defensive secondary after achieving a commitment from 2021 four-star cornerback Devonta Smith.
Smith recently announced his decommitment from Ohio State, and was not open for recruiting very long.
He announced his decommitment from the Buckeyes on June 25, and less than a week later, he was verbally committed to Alabama.

He’s ranked No. 30 as the nation’s best cornerbacks list from 247Sports.
Alabama currently sits ranked at No. 19 for the country’s 2021 recruiting class rankings. They have nine total commits that are comprised of two five-stars and five four-stars.
