Alabama locked in another important addition for its offensive line on Wednesday, as three-star offensive tackle Damieon George made things official with his signature.
While George isn’t as well-known as others in the 2020 class, he’s a massive presence (6-foot-7, 348 pounds) while the potential to become an effective right tackle in the future.

Alabama landed two offensive linemen during the early signing period with four-star offensive tackle Javion Cohen and three-star center/guard Seth McLaughlin.
George is the third — and potentially final — member of the unit, which depends on where Alabama sees Jayson Jones’ long-term fit with the team.
According to the 247Sports composite rankings, George is rated as the No. 385 overall player, No. 31 offensive tackle and No. 56 player from the state of Texas.
It should be noted that ESPN’s recruiting rankings had him listed as a four-star prospect, however.
George held offers from other premier programs such as Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Auburn and Florida, which only goes to show how highly thought of he was despite his low ranking.
