According to BOL, Jake Wingo has committed to Bama

[TiderinVA]

6' 200lb LB out of Tuscaloosa Hillcrest. I know he's a "legacy" and I've never seen this kid play but to say the least, he'll have to redshirt and put on about 30 lbs to play LB in the SEC.

I saw that this morning and was coming over to post the same thing.

Not sure whether this kid is going to translate into a gray shirt, a walk on or what? He might come in as a walk on depending on what the status of his recruitment was with Bama. I don't know have that info, so I'm just guessing right now.

I am pretty sure he is a walk on. He was not recruited by the staff and has turned down a scholarship offer from Clemson to walk on at Bama.

Word is possible grayshirt or Bryant scholarship. If Bryant scholarship I guess he can't play for 2 years or he will count towards this year's limit.

From everything I've heard Jake is a great find! They say that he would redshirt and will likely continue growing and could end up being a stud like his dad!

Rich was a great college and pro LB and I fully expect Jake to shake up some things once he's there. This kid can play.

The ride to our future is with Coach Shula so "get on board"!

According to a TI article, he played safety in highschool and could play either at safety or at OLB in college. Shula and staff will have to decide where best to put him and how soon to put him in if at all.

It's great to have more of the Bama Bloodlines in the picture. If this kid is half as good as his dad, he'll make a great addition to the team. I admire him turning down a Clemson scholly to walk on at Bama. That speaks volumes.

The Tide just keeps rolling in the recruits. Roll Tide!

Jake would be a great safety. He also plays baseball at Hillcrest and Clemson offered him a scholly in that too. But I could of told you all along that he would go to Bama.

Well then why didn't you?
