Alabama has been picking up some steam on the recruiting trail in recent weeks. The Tide landed two commitments in the past week. A priority target also released his top schools recently with Alabama in the mix.
Edge rusher Jacob Smith added the Tide to his list of finalists on Friday evening. Smith has taken four unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa at this point in time. His twin brother, Jerod, has not released his top schools. However, it is very likely that the two stick together and choose the same school.
In October, Jacob spoke with On3’s Chad Simmons and had the following to say:
“I feel we’ll probably end up going to the same school, just because we have similar interests and the same goals.”
With both brothers being mutually interested in the Tide, it is a good sign. The Alabama coaching staff would love to add both of them to a recruiting class that already has one edge rusher in four-star Sterling Dixon.
