Alabama has had trouble finding a reliable kicker over the years, so it makes sense to bring in as many kickers as possible to battle it out for the job.
On Tuesday, the Tide added a kicker to their 2020 class, presumably as a walk-on.
As you can see below, Chase Allen of Colleyville, Texas, announced via Twitter that he would be attending Alabama in 2020 and beyond:
I am thankful to God for the blessings He has shown me, and thankful to my coaches and all those who have supported me through my journey to this point. I am proud to announce that I will continue my athletic and educational career at the University of Alabama.@CoachJeffBanks pic.twitter.com/FlBTSEkMwf

Allen has yet to be rated by any of the major recruiting services. Per his 247Sports page, SMU had also shown interest, but Allen had no scholarship offers.
Per 247Sports, Alabama has the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation and the No. 2 class in the SEC.
Below, check out some of Allen’s high school highlights, courtesy of Hudl:
