James officially locked in with Alabama
Kedrick James, a 3-star tight end commit from La Vega High School (Waco, Texas), told us after he committed to Alabama that he wouldn't visit any other schools. That remains the case after visiting Tuscaloosa this weekend.

James' father, Brandon Baggett, told SEC Country that the family is 100 percent comfortable with sending Kedrick to Alabama for college.

"He won't be taking any other visits," Baggett said. "We are super excited for Kedrick."

The family had a chance to talk with Saban, as all of the official visitors do, and the plan for James was received very well by the family.

"They'd like for him to be a triple threat as a blocker, run routes off the line and run a few fade routes from a wide receiver position."

The 6-foot-5, 245-pound prospect is one of two tight ends in the Class of 2017. Major Tennison, a 4-star tight end, is already enrolled at Alabama.
