Georgia may be the two-time reigning college champions on the field, but Alabama is still giving them a run for their money in the recruiting race. Yesterday Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide successfully flipped one of the top defensive recruits in the Bulldogs’ class of 2024.<\/p>\n

Here’s how St. John Bosco’s five-star safety Peyton Woodyard announced that he was changing his commitment from Georgia to Alabama.<\/p>\n

Woodyard (6-foot-2, 188 pounds) is ranked No. 6 at safety, No. 9 overall in California\u00a0<\/span>and No. 81 nationally<\/span><\/a>, going by the 247Sports composite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Woodyard explained his decision, telling<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Hayes Fawcett at On3<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that Saban has done a great job coaching up defensive backs.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Coach Saban has done a great job with DBs and it\u2019s evident and that\u2019s something that definitely played a role in me picking alabama. Specifically the safety position, from Minkah Fitzpatrick, Brian Branch to Eddie Jackson. I feel no one does it better than Bama.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Georgia’s class of 2024 is still No. 1 in the nation\u00a0<\/span>in the recruiting rankings<\/span><\/a>. However, their lead over No. 2 Ohio State has dwindled to 23 points. Meanwhile, Alabama has risen to No. 4.<\/span><\/p>\n
