A longtime Buckeye commitment is headed to Bama instead.

After checking out Alabama in recent days, four-star tight end Ty Lockwood went public with his change of heart, announcing via social media that Tuscaloosa was his new college destination. In doing so, the standout from Independence High School in Thompson's Station, Tn., became UA's first (and perhaps only) tight end commitment for the 2023 cycle.

What does the addition of the 6-foot-5, 225-pound Lockwood mean for Nick Saban's latest recruiting effort? In the aftermath, BOL publisher Tim Watts joined senior analyst Travis Reier to fill in the blanks.

On the heels of an impressive run of commitments from top offensive targets, the Alabama recruiting effort for the 2023 cycle got a big defensive boost when four-star end Hunter Osborne announced he would be joining the Crimson Tide.

What does the addition of the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Osborne mean for Nick Saban's latest haul? BOL publisher Tim Watts joins senior analyst Travis Reier to discuss the Hewitt-Trussville High School star's decision from every angle.

Alabama's 2023 recruiting class picked up a Friday night five-star when running back Richard Young committed to the Crimson Tide. Young, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound standout from Lehigh (Fla.) High School, chose UA over Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma and Notre Dame.

What does the addition of the nation's No. 2 running back prospect for the upcoming cycle mean for Nick Saban's latest recruiting effort? BOL publisher Tim Watts joins senior analyst Travis Reier to discuss not only Young's decision from every angle, but where Alabama stands with a myriad of prospects who hold the Crimson Tide in high regard.
