Offensive tackle Charles Baldwin (Brooklyn, N.Y./ASA College) verbally committed to Alabama, as first-reported by 247Sports.com.

"I committed to Alabama. I really like (Crimson Tide) offensive line coach Mario Cristobal," Baldwin said. "I think he can get me to the next level. It's all about family here."

Baldwin is in the midst of a three-day visit to Alabama.

"I have a great relationship with the coaching staff and players," Baldwin said. "I feel they can push me to be the best player I can be. Roll Tide."

He chose Alabama over offers from Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Miami and others.

The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder runs a 4.78-second 40-yard dash and bench presses 475 pounds.

Baldwin is one of the elite JUCO prospects in America, if not the best.
