BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Alabama flipped a commitment from another school for the second time this week when defensive back Rico McGraw changed his verbal pledge from Georgia to Alabama.

The news was first reported by Rivals.com, which spoke to McGraw's mother Leigh Ann Clark.

"It was a very difficult decision," Clark told Rivals.com. "He is a cornerback. Alabama has a really good defense. We thought it was a good fit for him. They produce really good cornerbacks."

"He has been contemplating this decision for a while. This is a family decision. Alabama is an excellent program. We felt Alabama was a better fit."

McGraw, a 4-star ranked No. 142 nationally in the 247Sports composite, committed to Georgia in January. The 6-foot, 190-pound prospect from Nashville's Enworth High School had visited Alabama for camp in June.

McGraw becomes Alabama's 21st verbal commitment for the 2015 class. Earlier this week, Tallahassee, Fla., standout Ronnie Harrison changed from North Carolina to Alabama. Harrison profiles as a safety while McGraw is likely a cornerback.
