Three-star safety Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. has committed to Alabama, setting the stage to play on the same Bryant-Denny Stadium field as his father did over a decade ago.
Kirkpatrick’s commitment to the Crimson Tide, first reported by On3 reporter Hayes Fawcett, gives Alabama its eighteenth recruit in the class of 2024. Kirkpatrick is a 6-foot safety listed at 192 pounds, and while he’s a mid-tier three-star rank on 247Sports, he is listed as the best defensive back in the Gadsden area, according to USA TODAY Network’s Gadsden Times. He had 69 tackles, three interceptions and 16 pass breakups last season, according to the outlet.
