Amite (La.) High Top247 two-way recruit Devonta Lee added an offer from Alabama during this past weekend's visit for Junior Day.

Ranked by 247Sports as the nation's No. 6 receiver and No. 47 prospect overall, the Crimson Tide envision him potentially doing a number of different things within their program.

"I've always been waiting on that offer," Lee said. "It was really a great pleasure to me, I thought it was never going to come but I just kept working and waited patiently. I mean it meant the most to me because they're recruiting me as an athlete because cause I play both sides of the ball. They don't know where they're going play me which they said I can play both sides, and I would love to play safety, wide receiver and some tight end like Evan Engram."

The staff made a big impression on the 6-foot-2, 212-pound Lee.

"I know if I play there Coach (Nick) Saban is going to make me become a better man, not just football, but as a young man. I know he's going to get the best out of me."

Lee has a friend in the locker room as well.

"I have a former (teammate) there DeVonta Smith," Lee said. "That's really a great athlete that I look up to. He's just like my brother. If I chose to go there I know I can be in the role with him playing."

Also holding offers from the likes of in-state LSU along with Florida, Florida State, Miami, Tennessee and Texas A&M, Lee sees everything he is looking for at Alabama.

"Coaches, academics, the program, the students you're surrounded by, the campus, facility and I like their weight-room program," Lee said. "I really like it. I know you're going to win championships, that you're going to have to work for what you deserve, that's what I want. They will have you prepared for the draft. Their facility is nice too."
