The Rebel legacy kept things close to the vest for most of the process but finally made his decision and committed to the Tide.
Ole Miss isn't getting Nigel Knott. In a video released Monday afternoon on Bleacher Report, the four-star cornerback announced his intention to sign with Alabama.
The seventh best cornerback in the country and the 62nd-ranked player in the 247Sports composite rankings, Knott would have been quite the coupe for Hugh Freeze since the Rebs are rather thin at corner right now. Tony Bridges, Kendarius Webster, Cam Ordway and Kailo Moore are the only ones with real game experience and unless any of the commits in the class now are immediate contributors, they will be desperate for corners in 2017.
