Alabama recently extended an offer to Ohio State commit and 2023 tight end prospect Ty Lockwood. After being committed to the Buckeyes for almost a year, Lockwood flipped his commitment to Alabama. He announced the news via his Twitter page.
Lockwood is a great addition to Alabama’s 2023 recruiting class. Now, the coaching staff has found its tight end commit for the class, which is a massive pickup.
Here is what Lockwood had to say regarding his decision to flip his commitment to Alabama:
“After much discussion and prayer, my family and I have decided that it would be best to decommit from Ohio State University. I take commitment and loyalty very seriously, but it’s the right choice I needed to make for my future and my family. With that being said, I’m flipping my commitment to the University of Alabama. I look forward to what the future brings and how I can develop as a player and person under Coach Saban and Coach Cox. Roll Tide!”
Lockwood is the 18th commit for Alabama’s 2023 recruiting class. Now, Alabama has the No. 1 overall recruiting class, according to 247Sports’ recruiting rankings.
