Alabama Morning Drive: Tide could add second QB commitment today

Four-star quarterback Dylan Lonergan will make his commitment later this afternoon.

Good morning, Tide fans! Welcome back to another Monday edition of Alabama Morning Drive. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and is ready for the weekday grind.

It looks like it is officially commitment season for members of the class of 2023. Plenty of the nation’s top prospects have made their verbals over the last several days and more is expected to come very soon.

One such player is four-star quarterback prospect, Dylan Lonergan. Lonergan hails from Snellville, Georgia, and has a final three of Alabama, South Carolina, and Stanford.

Over the past few days, Lonergan has received several crystal ball predictions in favor of Alabama on 247Sports, and On3’s RPM also heavily favors the Crimson Tide at 84.2%.

Aside from being a star on the gridiron, Lonergan is also a talented player on the baseball diamond.

Lonergan will make his commitment on Monday, July 11 at 3:00 p.m. CT.

Let’s take a quick look at a few other stories involving the Crimson Tide this morning.

Alabama softball receives massive commitment from transfer Faith Hensley!

Alabama’s softball roster got a huge boost on Saturday. Ball State transfer and 2022 MAC Player of the Year Faith Hensley announced that she will transfer to Alabama. She is the second transfer to join the program this offseason. The other addition was North Alabama transfer, Emma Broadfoot.

Hensley spent four seasons at Ball State. During her time with the Cardinals, she received numerous awards and honors. Hensley was a First-Team All-MAC selection the past two seasons, she was also the MAC Player of the Year in 2022. She leaves Ball State in good standing, ending her time there as the career leader in on-base percentage, second in batting average and third in slugging percentage.

In four seasons, she had a combined batting average of .389 with 25 home runs and 97 runs batted in. She played primarily left field the past two seasons. The Tide will return outfielders Kat Grill, Jenna Johnson and Jordan Stephens. It’s possible that Crimson Tide  fans will see Hensley in left field to start the season for Alabama. The upcoming season will be Hensley’s fifth and final year of college eligibility.
