Alabama lost a commitment from Brandon Ruiz only 10 days ago, yet here they are switching out one 2017 U.S. Army All-American placekicker for another, as Joseph Bulovas announced Wednesday morning his intentions to commit to the Tide.
Bulovas took to Twitter to declare his intentions to play in Tuscaloosa:
I am extremely Blessed and excited to announce that I have committed to the University of Alabama!!! #RollTide #TeamSailer pic.twitter.com/FFTM8RUDfe

Bulovas had been a Georgia Tech commit until two days ago. Before decommitting from the Yellow Jackets, he was being pursued by Mississippi State. The kicker even took an official visit to Starkville two weekends ago.
247Sports ranks Bulovas as the No. 3 kicker in the nation for 2017. His high school highlight reel shows off his incredible leg strength, which will likely result in Alabama winning the field position battle more often than not over the next few years.
