Any speculation surrounding the recruitment of Bryce Young and whether he would make a last-minute flip can now be put to rest. On Wednesday, the five-star quarterback officially signed with the University of Alabama.
Here is a tweet from Connor Morrissette showing Young sign on the dotted line:

Young, a Santa Ana (Cali.) native who played his high school football at Mater Dei, headlines an impressive group of commitments for the Crimson Tide. He’s listed as the No. 6 overall player, No. 1 dual-threat quarterback and No. 2 player from the state of California.
As a senior, Young completed 71.8 percent of his 409 attempts for 4,528 yards and 58 touchdowns while only throwing six interceptions. As if that wasn’t enough, he also added 357 yards and 10 scores on the ground.
The looming decision from star Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has yet to be revealed, but it looks like the Tide will be in good shape at that position regardless.
Mac Jones made it known that he would be returning to the University of Alabama next season. In addition, the depth chart still includes Tua’s younger brother, Taulia, and Paul Tyson, both four-star recruits from the 2019 class.
Throw in a generational talent like Young, and it makes the potential quarterback battle all the more interesting.
