Alabama Picks Up 4-Star Linebacker From Georgia

Alabama Crimson Tide — Mon, 16 May 2011 23:14:29 +0000

Tonight, one of the top linebackers in Georgia, Dillion Lee of Buford, GA became the 12th verbal commitment in a 2012 class that is already stacking up to be the best in the country. He picked Alabama over his other favorites of Southern Cal, Florida State, and Georgia. LSU & Georgia Tech was also in the hunt for his services. Georgia tried at the last minute to get this kid's attention after the others had recruited him, but in the end, he decided to roll with the Tide! The young stud LB was rated 4-stars by Scout.com

From what I can see in the video, the kid is real fast and has a good eye for the ball. He drops back into coverage really well and seems to have the ability to also punish runners with great open field tackling.

Saban has a keen eye for talent. Alabama will have a good one in this young man. He looks a little wirey on the videos, but the fact is this boy is 6-foot-4, 220 lbs, so there is room on his frame for some muscle. He could develop into a real nice outside linebacker with his lateral speed & cover abilities, in fact jack LB might be a natural fit for this kid.

Great pick-up today!

Check out the video for yourself and see what I mean.
