McKinney is the No. 57 overall recruit in the 2017 class according to Rivals.com, which made him one of Alabama's top commits. Alabama still has a strong recruiting class, but losing him hurts now and it could hurt more later; according to 247Sports, Georgia and Clemson are now the favorites for the Atlanta native.
Alabama still has 14 recruits committed to their 2017 class.
