Alabama and LSU lead the race for Alexandria (La.) defensive tackle Jacobian Guillory.

The four-star defender had planned to announce his college decision at the All-American Bowl on Jan. 4, however, on Friday Guillory called an audible, opting to make his plans known on Dec. 20, the last Day of the Early Signing Period.

Guillory took official visits to both Baton Rouge and Tuscaloosa last month as both SEC West programs duke it out to win over the 6-foot-2, 331-pounder.

"That everyone is held to the same accountability from the head coach down to the the lady that waters the flowers in the morning," he said of what he likes best about Alabama.

The four-star D-lineman impressed Nick Saban at camp in June.

“He talked about how I was a lot quicker than he thought I was going to be and also a lot more fluid with my pass-rushing moves,” Guillory said of Saban's message. “I’m 330, he knows I can stop the run, but he wanted to see if I can stop the pass, too.”

Guillory is one of two Bayou State defensive tackles the Tide has been pressing for thus far in the 2020 class, the other being Jaquelin Roy, who plans on announcing a decision between Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M on July 26.

Guillory is rated the No. 14 defensive tackle and the No. 163 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Earlier this summer, 247Sports’ Billy Embody caught up with Alexandria head coach Thomas Bachman on what makes Guillory special.

"I think he's only scratching the surface when he gets there and he really understands that he's going against elite competition play in and play out," Bachman told 247Sports. "He'll be hungry to learn. I think the sky is the limit for him. He's a great kid, he listens, he tries to apply what you tell him as he gets deeper into this thing. Some of these guys get their hands on him and start coaching him, it's got a chance to be really fun to watch for me."

Alabama's 2020 class currently ranks No. 2 in the nation, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings.
