Powder Springs (Ga.) McEachern wide receiver Tyler Simmons has announced his commitment to Alabama, per a BamaOnline source.
The three-star prospect chose the Crimson Tide over offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech, California and Texas A&M, among others.
Alabama picked up serious momentum for the Peach State receiver over the past three months, which included a visit from head coach Nick Saban via helicopter back in December.
āFor one itās the comfort level with Alabama,ā Simmons told BamaOnline. āAnother reason I wanted to commit there is I want to major in engineering and itās a great engineering school.
Special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Bobby Williams is the primary recruiter on file for Simmons, one of the fastest recruits in the state of Georgia.
āAfter talking to the coaches I feel comfortable that itās not just about football there,ā Simmons said. āOnce youāre committed, youāre not just committed to play football youāre committed to the school. They were just real through the whole recruiting process.ā
Simmons, who committed to the Tide silently in October, talked about what heās looking forward to most when gets to Tuscaloosa.
āJust the football and college environment,ā Simmons said. āJust getting to meet the players and experience the college life.ā
The 5-foot-11, 194-pound Simmons, is rated the No. 63 receiver and the No. 377 overall player in the country, per the 247Sports Composite, an industry-generated average.
The commitment bumps Alabama to the No. 4 spot in the 247Sports Team Rankings.
