Marietta (Ga.) Sprayberry<\/a><\/strong> cornerback Jorden Edmonds<\/a><\/strong> has been thinking about committing to Alabama<\/a><\/strong> for some time. The four-star almost made the call on his birthday in February, but he held off. He thought he would take a few visits this spring, then make a decision, but he only took one. It was to Tuscaloosa and that was all it took. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt came down to relationships, development and how I grew up following the program that helped me choose Alabama,\u201d Edmonds told On3. \u201cI am from Pittsburgh, but my brother was an Alabama fan, and when I moved down to Atlanta in the 7th grade, I started to follow Alabama. <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom that point, I followed them, then when I started getting recruited by them, I knew I liked them a lot. My first visit was around January of 2024 and I got the offer. I went to spring practice, the Georgia game, then for another Junior Day and Alabama just kept moving up my list. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was leaning toward Alabama from the day I got the offer, but I liked Georgia, Tennessee and some other schools. The relationships developed and that is what took Alabama to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Courtney Morgan<\/a><\/strong> was involved. Chris Sanders played a role. Another key relationship was Maurice Linguist<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was different with coach Mo. If he wasn\u2019t there, I am not sure if I would be committing to Alabama. He is a great guy, he is a great coach and we have that type of relationship. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy connections are strong at Alabama. If I am not talking with coach Mo, then I have coach Morgan or coach Sanders to chop it up with. That is what makes Alabama special to me. The people and the connections are real.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kalen DeBoer took over in 2024, Alabama was a perfect 7-0 at home and won 9 games last season. The No. 17 prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking<\/a><\/strong> was at Alabama\u2019s win over Georgia and he is excited about what he is going into in Tuscaloosa. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe culture is great,\u201d Edmonds said. \u201cIt feels like family for me at Alabama. The coaches bring their families around, I feel very comfortable around everyone and it makes it easy for me to be there. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a top program too. Alabama has great fans, the atmosphere fits me and it is going to be great playing in that stadium. There is a lot that I like about Alabama.\u201d<\/p>\n
