Alabama gets midnight commitment from 4-star DE

Byron Young didn't wait around for sunrise.

The defensive end from Laurel, Mississippi went right ahead and made his college commitment right at midnight on July 4.

He went with Alabama.

The four-star recruit ranked 121st overall in the Class of 2019 became the 18th to give his commitment to the Crimson Tide's No. 1 class. Young made the announcement on Twitter in a post published right at midnight.

"That's how you start off this Incredible Holiday," Alabama linebackers coach Pete Golding tweeted eight minutes later. "Some fireworks from the Trenches!"

Golding and defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski were credited with recruiting Young, according to 247Sports.

The 6-foot-4, 279-pound rising senior at West Jones High School is ranked ninth among strongside defensive ends in the 2019 class.

Young is the fourth defensive end to commit to the 2019 class. Anthony Alfano of New Jersey is the No. 5 strongside end while Justin Eboigbe is No. 10. Kevin Harris is the No. 6 weakside end in 247Sports' rankings.

I love what the staff is doing on the DL this cycle. Lots of big athletic dudes... Just in time to refresh that group when this one gets highly drafted. Saban in full Saban mode right now! RTR

I expect to beat The Fighting Bobby Petrino's (14 points) and then the next two games. Bama vs A&M is going to tell us a lot about the Tide. I am glad this game is in TitleTown.
