Look for Alabama's tradition of excellent linebacker play to continue following the commitment of four-star inside linebacker Jaquan Yulee on Monday. The six-foot-one, 240-pound Yulee picked the Tide over offers from Florida, Clemson, Florida State, Michigan State, Notre Dame and Wisconsin among others.
Yulee spoke to Scout.com following his decision to commit to Alabama.
”When it comes to Alabama, they’re just unbelievable,” Yulee said. “They have a lot of talent and I just love the football program.”
On which coach he has the best relationship with in Tuscaloosa: "The coach I’m in contact with the most is (outside linebackers) coach (Tosh) Lupoi,” Yulee said. “My relationship with him was one of the keys. He’s just really cool and he just knows how to recruit really well.”
Although the ability to play for arguably the game's top coach certainly didn't hurt either.
”It’s an honor to have a chance to play for him (Saban),” Yulee said. “When I was down there visiting, he was cool and calm, but I know he’s also very intense at the same time, and I really like that about him.”
Alabama now has 12 commits in their 2016 recruiting class, with Yulee being their first linebacker commitment.
