Alabama moves way up for four-star WR Isaah Crocker

Isaah Crocker has seen beautiful facilities and gorgeous campuses as his recruitment has picked up.

The four-star receiver from Sacramento (Calif.) Inderkum saw that at Alabama as well but there was something even more special about his time in Tuscaloosa.

And now that Crocker, who has shined at numerous events this offseason, has an offer from the Crimson Tide, he is seriously thinking about one day playing for college football’s Goliath.

“It’s just a cool thing to know you’re at the best school in college football,” Crocker said after he camped at Alabama this week.

“It did make it special. They’re not there to put the impression on your mind that it’s a beautiful school. They mean business. That’s what makes it a huge deal. Getting an offer from them is a blessing.

“It was unbelievable. I killed the camp including the Cali dudes. I was killing everybody.”

Crocker spent a good deal of time with Alabama position coach Michael Locksley and he also met with coach Nick Saban, something that was definitely memorable.

“They were telling me how good I was doing and they checked my film,” Crocker said. “They wanted to see how I would do out there with their guys. Having a camp with the receivers coach, he liked me a lot.

“I only went to two sessions of the camp. I went Sunday afternoon and then the morning and they break down film on everybody they have up there. They liked my film.

“I went in and sat in (Locksley’s) office with coach (Terrance Leonard of TMP Elite) and he liked the way I played, the way I can control my body to catch the ball at the highest point and he said he could see me playing there.

“Coach Saban loved me. He was telling me he wants to get close to my family so he can keep the relationship going. Coach (Leonard) was there. it was crazy just being in his office and seeing the rings and everything.”

Official visits have been planned to Oregon, Oregon State and Nebraska – considered his three frontrunners – and now Alabama joins that list as well.

A date has not been finalized for the Crimson Tide trip – it could be for the LSU matchup in early November – but Crocker said he’s sure Alabama moves way up his list and he absolutely plans to return to Tuscaloosa.

“They do jump up there,” Crocker said. “You have to have them up there. That has to go up there automatically. Who wouldn’t have Alabama up top?”

After Alabama offered, Crocker noticed something else, too. Georgia coach Kirby Smart followed him on Twitter.
