Malcom Epps commits to UA

The University of Alabama hosted an elite Junior Day on Saturday with several top prospects in the 2017 and 2018 recruiting classes. Malcolm Epps, 2018 tight end from Dekaney High School in Spring, Texas, was among the visitors.

Epps received an offer from the Tide a week prior to the weekend visit. The 6-foot-6, 217-pound prospect committed to Alabama during Junior Day.

"To me it felt like one of the best programs in the country," said Epps. "I thought about (committing) when I got there. This was my first time visiting Alabama. I really like how they take care of their athletes.
