good news; 5-STAR WIDE RECEIVER,Dre Kirkpatrick COMMITS TO ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE, after watching son’s match……
Dre Kirkpatrick Jr., the Class of 2024 three-star prospect of the past Alabama legend who thrived under Saban, made his decision to verbally commit to the Crimson Tide.
For Saban and ‘Bama, it now means they have their first legacy commit in the era of the six-time national title winner at Tuscaloosa. At first, though, the younger Kirkpatrick appeared as if he was heading elsewhere in the Southeastern Conference.
Captured by videographer Kyle Henderson, the safety out of Gadsden City, Alabama gave off the notion he was heading to Missouri by holding up a Tigers pullover. But then, Kirkpatrick put down the pullover and removed the hat he put on…replacing it with a Crimson Tide hat and pulling out his father’s No. 21 ‘Bama jersey — leading to loud cheers from his family.
But visibly seen behind the defender? His father losing his composure and walking away — signifying the emotional proud father moment.
