Ekiyor said he only hears from Michigan once or twice a week, but he hears from Alabama nearly every day. The Tide didn't offer him until he visited in February.
He said Alabama is No. 2 on his list behind the Wolverines, and Florida State is No. 3.
"It's hard to not have interest in a school like that when they talk to you just about every day and you get to be on the phone with Coach Saban," Ekiyor said. "I'm still committed to Michigan, but I have to take a look at Alabama."
Ekiyor also told SEC Country that Alabama wants to add more depth to its offensive line in the 2018 recruiting class.
The four-star prospect is from Indianapolis, Indiana, and he said distance won't play a factor into his decision. But he hasn't been able visit the southern schools as often due to distance.
Ekiyor said his mother values Michigan's education, and he said he was impressed by the team's recent trip to Rome.
He is still committed to the Wolverines, but Alabama is definitely a contender to sign the highly touted guard.
