Top QB recruit Young flips from USC to Alabama

Alabama added ESPN 300 quarterback Bryce Young to its 2020 recruiting class, flipping Young from USC.

The No. 4 ranked dual-threat quarterback in the class, Young had been committed to the Trojans since July, 2018, but switched his decision after a visit to Alabama this past weekend.

The 6-foot, 180-pound quarterback took to Twitter to explain his decision.

Young, who is from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, is yet another ESPN 300 prospect leaving the state of California. Of the 16 ESPN 300 recruits from California who have announced their commitment, only two are staying in-state and both are committed to Stanford - wide receivers John Humphreys and Bryce Farrell.
