The mood around Tuscaloosa may be down this week, but there’s nothing like a big-time commitment to liven things up a bit.

Four-star safety Xavier McKinney committed to Alabama Wednesday, and he became the Crimson Tide’s seventh commitment for the class of 2017.

The Roswell, Georgia, native is rated as the No. 13 overall safety and the country’s No. 215 player overall, according to 247Sports Composite Ranking.

McKinney must have been impressed with Alabama, because he visited Tuscaloosa over the weekend for the Ole Miss game.
