Alabama lands verbal commit from four-star cornerback

Nigel Knott is the No. 7 ranked cornerback in the country.

Alabama's 2016 recruiting class got a big pick up on Monday afternoon. Four-star cornerback Nigel Knott (5-foot-11, 175 pounds, Madison, Ms.) verbally committed to Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide using a Bleacher Report video. Knott, the No. 7 ranked corner in the 2017 class according to 247Sports, picked Alabama over Mississippi State, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Oregon. Swaying Knott away from home — Mississippi State — is a good thing for Saban and Company.
