It has been a wild ride for cornerback prospect Desmond Ricks, but the 5-star has made his decision to sign with Alabama.
The Chesapeake, VA native (currently at IMG) stands at 6’1” 170 lbs. The 5-star reclassified to the class of 2023 shortly after he turned 18 years old in October of 2022. Despite moving up a class, he was still ranked as the No. 2 cornerback by the 247sports composite rankings and #23 overall.
Ricks started visiting campuses in early spring and made his way to Tuscaloosa in April of this year. He seemed to be zeroing in on Miami, Florida, LSU and Alabama, attending games for each during the 2022 season.
