The 6-4, 290-pounder is widely considered to be one of the premier junior college prospects in the country, and was recruited heavily by the in-state LSU Tigers, but after an official visit to Alabama this weekend, the disruptive defensive lineman decided that heading to Tuscaloosa was the best option for him. NOLA.com was given an official statement on his commitment that reads:

"LSU, thank you for giving me the opportunity to play in my home state. This decision was hard to make, but I will pursue my degree and compete for a national championship with the Alabama Crimson Tide. I just want everyone to understand how hard this decision was to make. Without having a complete coaching staff ready to roll, my family and I made the decision to sign with Alabama. Thanks for supporting my decision. Geaux Tigers."
