ALABAMA
Alabama landed its 15th commitment for the class of 2020 Friday night.
Four-star DB Brian Branch (Tyrone, Georgia) committed to the Crimson Tide over offers from Oklahoma and Tennessee, among others. Branch is ranked as the nation’s No. 18 safety and the state of Georgia’s No. 25 overall prospect, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Branch became Alabama’s fourth DB commit in the class, including the second safety. He joins fellow 4-star commit Javier Morton (Stone Mountain, Georgia) as a safety and Georgia product.
Following Branch’s commitment, Alabama now has four commitments from the Peach State.
He shared his commitment via Twitter:

Below are Branch’s high school highlights:
It’s always interesting to me when highly rated kids aren’t recruited by his home state team but receive major offers elsewhere. I wonder if this will prompt an offer from UGA or does their staff not see what others are seeing?
UGA is loaded at DB and only projects to sign one safety with this 2020 class. No.18 at the position isn’t what Kirby is targeting for that one available slot.
There are probably something like maybe 2000 HS safety’s nationwide?? The number 18 safety IN THE NATION is really good!!! With your type of logic I see why georgia hasn’t won a Natty since 1980. Welcome to Bama #18 safety in the nation!
It’s called being DUMB!
