5-Star Edge-Rusher Jeremiah Alexander Commits Back to Alabama over Clemson, More

Jeremiah Alexander, a 5-star edge rusher out of Alabaster, Alabama's Thompson High School, announced on Instagram that he has chosen to stay home and play college ball at Alabama.

Alexander, a class of 2022 prospect, is ranked 16th overall on 247Sports Composite's national rankings and first overall among edge rushers.

As The Athletic noted, Alexander committed to Alabama in March 2020 but re-opened his recruitment in the fall. The 6'2", 235-pound player ultimately received 19 offers, including ones from Clemson, Georgia and USC.

Charles Power, a national writer for 247Sports, provided a glowing scouting report on March 17, 2020, pegging Alexander as a future first-round NFL draft pick and comparing him to Tennessee Titans edge-rusher Harold Landry.
