One of the lone five-star recruits in the 2021 class, Tommy Brockermeyer, visited Tuscaloosa on Sunday and Monday alongside his family.

The Fort Worth (Texas) All Saints Episcopal offensive tackle left impressed.

“It was a great first experience there,” Brockermeyer told BamaOnLine. “We got to check out all the facilities, we got to talk to Coach (Nick) Saban, meet the O-line coach … I had a blast; it was so fun.”

Meeting Saban was one of the highlights of the trip.

“That’s crazy,” Brockermeyer said of sitting down with the UA head coach. “Literally my whole life I’ve been watching him on TV winning nattys. Getting to meet him in real life, it was an awesome experience.

“He was just talking about Alabama and the discipline … we talked for like 30 minutes, so it was a lot. Overall, he just talked about how good Alabama is with the culture and the tradition, and the development you’ll get there as a leader and football-wise.”

Cornerbacks coach Karl Scott is the lead recruiter for Brockermeyer. The two finally got to chat in person.

“We talked for a long time,” Brockermeyer said. “He’s a great guy. I’m looking forward to spending more time with him.”

The 6-foot-6, 283-pounder also spent time with offensive line coach Kyle Flood.

“He’s definitely an elite O-line coach,” Brockermeyer said. “Got to get some one-on-one time with him and go over some drills that they do at Alabama. I thought it was a great experience learning from him.”

Brockermeyer spoke highly of the Tide after earning an offer earlier this past spring. Bama only helped itself with this visit.

“I already thought Alabama was going to be one of my top schools and this just proved to me that it definitely is,” he said.

Brockermeyer is rated the No. 1 offensive tackle and the No. 3 overall player in the 2021 class, per 247Sports.

The 247Sports Crystal Ball reads 100 percent in favor of Texas.
