2020 OL from Mississippi decommits from Alabama
The Alabama Crimson Tide’s 2020 recruiting class took a hit on Thursday, as one player re-opened his recruitment.
Xavier Hill, a 3-star offensive guard from Mississippi, has apparently backed away from the Tide and will explore other options.
Chad Simmons of Rivals first reported the news on Thursday morning:
NEW: 2020 OL Xavier Hill has backed off his pledge to #Bama and re-opened his recruitment. He has already visited two other SEC schools this fall and will visit another next week.

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Hill is the No. 27 offensive guard in the class of 2020 and the No. 9 overall recruit from the state of Mississippi.
Alabama is now down to 22 players in its 2020 class, which currently ranks No. 1 in the SEC and No. 2 nationally, per 247Sports.
Hill was also considering schools like Auburn, Tennessee and LSU during his initial recruitment.
