Early Alabama commit Mekhi Brown confirms pledge to Crimson Tide

Almost a year after giving a verbal commitment to Alabama, four-star defensive end Mekhi Brown maintained a solid stance on where he intends to go to school.

Despite taking official visits to Notre Dame and Louisville and planning to visit LSU, Brown shut down his recruiting, pledging allegiance to Alabama.

Brown is ranked as the 114th best prospect in the nation, the No. 12 prospect in Georgia and No. 6 weak-side defensive end in the nation.
