Alabama landed its third commitment of the day Sunday when Waco, Texas tight end Kedrick James committed to Alabama, a source close to James confirmed to AL.com.

KCEN first reported the news. James has since announced his commitment on Twitter.

The 6-foot-4, 245-pound James is a three-star recruit in the 247Sports composite rankings and the No. 12 tight end nationally. He had 10 receptions for 173 yards at La Vega High School as a junior.

This is Alabama's first tight end commitment in this class and 21st overall.

Earlier Sunday, Alabama landed commitments from Bob Jones offensive tackle Kendall Randolph and James Clemens defensive back Kyriq McDonald.

Arkansas appeared to be the top competition for Alabama here, but James had multiple other offers, including Auburn, Miami, Michigan, Oklahoma and Tennessee
