The college recruiting season is in full flow as top athletes across the nation are signing for some of the most prestigious programs in the country. One of these recent commits is JaBarrius Garror. The 2027 edge rusher from Vigor High School announced his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide after attending their Champions Cook-Out on Sunday.

Garror is a 6-foot-2 edge from Alabama who is currently an unranked prospect from the class of 2027. The Alabama native is a lifelong Crimson Tide fan and once he received an offer from the program, he wasted no time in accepting it.

"We run this state," one fan commented.

"Vigor stays producing NFL talent," another fan reacted.

"Roll tide!! Hope you stick with us!" another wrote.

"I’ve been having a great relationship with the coaches. I’ve been up there a few times, and it just felt like home," Garror said about his decision. "Every time I went up there, it was just the same thing and I felt the same feeling. I felt like it was home."
