Alabama added two top rated-100 commitments to its 2021 course Friday when five-star offensive deal with Tommy Brockermeyer and twin brother, James, introduced their motivation to the Crimson Tide.

Tommy is the No. 2-ranked prospect total, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound deal with who selected Alabama more than Texas, Clemson, LSU and Auburn.

“Alabama is just a application that I felt I couldn’t disregard,” Tommy claimed. “Their historical past and custom of establishing NFL tackles and successful tradition is as opposed to any other school. I also needed to obstacle myself to engage in from the best competitiveness in college or university soccer.”

James, the No. 99-rated prospect over-all, is a 6-foot-3, 255-pound centre who chose Alabama above Auburn, Texas and LSU.

“The successful tradition there is second-to-none together with an unreal power and conditioning software,” James reported. “All the things Coach [Nick] Saban has carried out there is next-to-none, and they are an offensive line factory.”

The brothers are both of those from All Saints’ Episcopal Faculty in Fort Truly worth, Texas, and have hefty ties to the University of Texas football software. Their older brother, Luke, presently performs for Texas their father, Blake, was an All-American for the Longhorns in the 1990s and their grandfather, Kay, also played at Texas.

As twins, they both equally explained it was very most likely they would conclusion up at the very same college even even though they ended up likely by the recruiting procedure as two diverse prospective clients. That included a layer to their recruitment, as they had to attempt to find the appropriate location for two people rather of just 1.

“It truly is likely tougher, due to the fact it’s two unique people today looking at the same stuff,” James claimed. “So two people desirable to the exact factor is definitely tougher than finding a single particular person.”

Alabama was ready to persuade both of those brothers that Tuscaloosa was the put to be, and now the two ESPN 300 offensive linemen are adding to an presently productive number of months on the recruiting path for Saban and his personnel.

The Crimson Tide have now landed 10 ESPN 300 commitments since Could, such as a few five-star potential clients with Tommy Brockermeyer fellow tackle J.C. Latham, the No. 9 ranked prospect in the class and defensive end Dallas Turner, the No. 13 total recruit.

Alabama was rated outside the house the best 25 in the course rankings at the start out of Could but has since steadily climbed as the coaches have additional expertise to the class. Ahead of these two commitments, Alabama was sitting at No. 13 all round. It will very likely shift up now with the Brockermeyers on board.
