Dre Kirkpatrick Jr., son of former Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, received an offer from Alabama on Tuesday.
Kirkpatrick Jr. has followed in his dad’s footsteps as far as becoming a highly-coveted prospect. He recently received an offer from Alabama. However, he is different from his father in several ways.
Despite being listed as a cornerback by several recruiting sites, Kirkpatrick Jr. is being recruited to play safety at Alabama. He is 6 feet tall and 192 pounds, according to 247Sports. Kirkpatrick Jr. is a senior at Gadsden City High School in Gadsden, Alabama.
Thus far, Alabama does not have a safety in the 2024 recruiting class. Kirkpatrick Jr. is a prospect to keep an eye on. Alabama would like to sign at least one safety in the class and Kirkpatrick Jr. makes perfect sense for the Crimson Tide.
