Watch: Alabama recruits Patrician Academy TE Jay Lindsey

Alabama won Lindsey’s recruiting battle over eight other programs that made offers.

After a slow start to the 2024 recruiting cycle, the Alabama Crimson Tide has steadily climbed into the top five, settling in at No. 4 in the nation in our most recent rankings.

Yesterday, the Tide added another piece to the puzzle for their class of 2024. Here’s how Patrician Academy (Ala.) three-star tight end Jay Lindsey announced he was staying in-state and committing to Alabama.

Lindsey (6-foot-4, 235 pounds) is a somewhat polarizing prospect. ESPN has him ranked as high as No. 8 among tight ends in his class and No. 31 overall in the state. Meanwhile, On3 has him at No. 37 at his position and 247Sports has him as low as No. 86 at tight end.

Alabama won Lindsey’s recruiting battle over eight other programs that made offers, including Mississippi State, Arkansas State, Liberty, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Troy, UAB and Vanderbilt.

Alabama lands former Mississippi State commit, 2024 TE Jay Lindsey

2024 tight end Jay Lindsey announced his commitment to Alabama on Tuesday. Lindsey had previously been committed to Mississippi State.

Alabama received some good news on Tuesday as 2024 tight end Jay Lindsey announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide. Lindsey had been committed to Mississippi State for over four months before de-committing on Aug. 26.

Lindsey plays for Patrician Academy in Butler, Alabama. Interestingly enough, Lindsey competes in the AISA, which is separate from the AHSAA. Meaning, he competes against other private schools within the association as opposed to facing public schools. The last player that Alabama recruited out of the AISA was tight end O.J. Howard.

Lindsey is the second tight-end commit for the Crimson Tide in the 2024 class. The other is four-star Caleb Odom. Alabama’s coaching staff sees Odom as more of a pass-catcher while Lindsey is viewed more so as an in-line blocker.

Alabama had been working hard to get Lindsey on board. Now, the Alabama native is part of a recruiting class that ranks among the best in the country for the 2024 recruiting cycle.
