Alabama added its third commitment in its 2019 class in four-star guard Deyavie Hammond, the Lakeland (Fla.) product announced on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.

Hammond opted for the Crimson Tide over Auburn, Florida, Florida State, and Georgia, among others. In fact, earlier this month, Hammond named the Gators his leader. However, that was before Alabama offered on May 17.

"What made me come to the decision was Alabama has been kind of my dream school from growing up when I was small," Hammond told BamaOnLine. "Over time I just learned that Alabama is probably the best option for me getting to the NFL. I feel like that's the best University for anybody. I feel like that program is the best program out of all the college teams."

Hammond told UA head coach Nick Saban over the phone he wanted to commit.

"He said to make sure I was ready and 100 percent before I made the decision," Hammond said. "I told him I was ready."

The four-star lineman will be taking his first visit to Tuscaloosa this July.

"It's a great offensive line," Hammond said of what sticks out about the Tide. "The O-linemen, I know what they expect (there). The offensive line has always been the best five in college football."

With some time to go before National Signing Day 2019, Hammond says he's still open to listening to other schools.

"I'm supposed to be visiting some of the in-state schools such as Miami, Florida, Florida State this summer, but mostly I'm going to be focusing on Bama," he said.

At 6-foot-4, 320 pounds, Hammond is rated the No. 5 offensive guard and the No. 108 overall player in the country, per 247Sports.

With the newest addition, the Tide sits at No. 6 in the 247Sports Team Rankings.

Wide receivers coach Mike Locksley is the primary recruiter on record.
