Alabama has yet another player set to join its crowded QB room for 2019.
The son of former NFL QB Jeff George, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft, will be a preferred walk-on at Alabama. Indianapolis, Indiana, native Jayden George shared his commitment to the Tide on social media Wednesday night.
“It’s been a long process and I’m excited to announce I will be continuing my dream to play football at the University of Alabama next year!” George tweeted. “I can’t wait to be a part of something special! All glory to God! #RollTide.”
Georgia Tech had been considered a favorite to land George, and he’s taken visits to Miami and Georgia recently; however, Alabama won out in the end.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound signal caller joins Tua Tagovailoa, Mac Jones, Taulia Tagovailoa, Paul Tyson and Braxton Barker in the Tide’s QB room. He threw for 42 TDs and 3,100 yards as a senior helping his team win a state championship.
