VIDEO: 4-Star In-State LB Reveals Commitment to Alabama With Awesome Clip
College football recruiting continues on at a time when actual sporting events are on a hiatus. Ian Jackson is a four-star linebacker recruit from Prattville, Ala., who had some major offers. Alabama and Auburn both wanted him, as did powerhouses like Oklahoma, Georgia and LSU. The Alabama native made a video to reveal his commitment and teased some choices throughout before donning a Crimson Tide hat.

This serves as the perfect hype video for the linebacker who is part of the 2021 recruiting class. He goes through all his suitors before getting to his ultimate decision.
It's one thing to keep a big-time talent in state, but to beat out schools like Auburn and Georgia must have Tide fans fired up right now.
A sign of some momentum? @AlabamaFTBL picks up in-state hybrid defender Ian Jackson despite family ties to rival @AuburnFootball.

The 6-1 linebacker picked up nearly 30 offers throughout his recruitment. Alabama now has six commits in its 2021 class.
Jackson's video may also inspire other recruits to get creative when announcing their own decisions. While it's been a slow start for the 2021 recruiting efforts, landing Jackson could be the start of a hot streak for Saban and Co.
