Alabama's message is clear to Rivals250 DB
THE LATEST: Jalen Perry took his third visit to Alabama Saturday and the four-star cornerback out of Dacula (Ga.) and this could be his last trip to Tuscaloosa before he commits.
It was the first his game-day experience and the No. 11-ranked cornerback in the 2019 class had a great time. The Crimson Tide are right in the thick of this race and they made it clear that he is a target of theirs Saturday.
IN HIS OWN WORDS: "The main things that I took away from Saturday’s visit to Alabama is that they are continuing to move in the right direction on the field, and that their coaching staff is making it clear that they want me," said Perry.
"I feel they have made me a priority by communicating with me a lot and spending time with me while I was on the visit. The coaches message to me is that I am a corner that can fit their system well.
"Some things that stood out during the visit was watching how the coaches are involved in preparing the players before the game, and also getting to talk to Coach Saban.
"I spent time with coach [Nick] Saban after the game and we talked about the game and how the defense stepped up in the second half after making some adjustments. We also discussed how my high school season is going and he asked if I enjoyed the game.
"I am still high on Alabama and I feel that they are consistently a top program and I enjoyed witnessing that first hand on this visit."
RIVALS REACTION: This is a hot, tight race for Perry, one of the top juniors in the state of Georgia. He is set to visit Ohio State for the Penn State game Saturday and he is eyeing a couple more games in November, but no visits have been schedule for that month yet. He is a junior who has been focused on the recruiting process for months now and he hopes to make a decision at some time during his junior year. Perry is really doing his homework on his top four schools — Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and South Carolina. At this time, it looks like he will choose from one of those schools. Alabama has been high on his list from the beginning. He loves their style of play, how Saban knows so much about his position and how they continue to win at an unbelievable level.
