Alabama gets two commitments on Friday evening.
Alabama got another Friday evening commitment for the 2019 class.
An hour after receiver John Metchie pledged, Chicago tight end Jahleel Billingsley announced for the Crimson Tide just after 6 p.m. Friday. The four-star prospect is the 20th member of the committed class for the 2019 cycle.
Billingsley became the third to opt for the Tide this week. Four-star defensive end Byron Young picked Alabama in a midnight tweet Wednesday.
Billingsley is the No. 11 tight end in the class, ranked 294th overall in the 247Sports composite. He was selected to play in the Polynesian Bowl all-star game.
Florida, Penn State and Illinois were also among those pursuing Billingsley.
The pass-catching tight end is the first from his position to commit to Alabama's class. Metchie became the first receiver to give his word to the Tide at 5 p.m. CT.
Alabama continues to top the 2019 recruiting class rankings, according to 247Sports. The 20 commits account for 284.85 points compared to No. 2
Texas A&M's 261.63 with 21 commits. See the complete rankings.
