Shawn Jennings, three-star safety from Dadeville High School in Ala., announced his commitment via Twitter on Tuesday night.

"It has always been one of my dream schools," Jennings said on Tuesday evening. "My brother is there. I love what Nick Saban does. The NFL basically looks at what he does. I know it will be best for my future if I go there."

"I told Coach Kirby (Smart) about my decision yesterday. He asked me if I was ready to roll with the Tide. It feels great to be committed. It's a big relief off of me. I am ready to start football again."

His older brother, Anfernee Jennings, is a former four-star defensive end who signed with Alabama in the 2015 class.

"He was happy," Jennings said. "He was glad. He is happy I was ready to start football and get this out of the way."

"It's all about the relationship I have with the coaches," Jennings said of Alabama. "It feels like home to me. It's a great school. Alabama recruited me the hardest. Kirby Smart keeps in touch with me all the time."
