Alabama landed its second offensive line commitment of the 2020 class on Wednesday as Damieon George chose the Crimson Tide over a number of other offers.

Aside from just Alabama, schools like Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Texas and Texas A&M had all offered the Houston (Texas) North Shore product and for good reason.

“I think they’re getting a really raw talent,” North Shore assistant coach Joe Price III told BamaOnLine. “Damieon has improved so much after the last two seasons. Obviously you can see that through his film and the way his body is changing. But he’s a young kid, he just turned 16 this semester. His body is still developing and still maturing. They’re gonna get a kid that has some intangibles, has some strength, obviously has size that they’re gonna get to mold into possibly a pro one day.”

Outside of the product George puts on the field, he’s as equal of an asset to his team in the locker room.

“Damieon is a really quiet guy,” Price III said. “He’s originally from Louisiana and in most cases the kids we’ve had from there have been really family-oriented. Those that are close to Damieon he treats them like family. Those guys in the locker room, especially in the offensive line room, they’re his brothers. He’s not really an outspoken guy, but he’s a presence. Obviously at 6-6, 6-7, 330, you’re a force, but the kids respect him because he works hard and does a great job. I think that’s just going to continue to happen as he moves on to the next level.”

Alabama defensive backs coach Karl Scott recruits North Shore. He and the Bama staff’s message resonated with George and his family, making them feel comfortable picking the Tide.

“Karl Scott is from Houston; he’s from the Alief area, so he has a good idea of how things go in the state of Texas,” Price III said. “Then Jeff Banks being at A&M recently, he has an understanding of the area. I think those guys have done a great job of pursuing the kids, of finding out what makes them tick, and explaining to him how he can benefit their team as well as how their team can benefit him as an individual. I think they really won over his family, and I think that probably was one of the biggest things that contributed to him committing as early as he did.”

George is rated the No. 36 offensive tackle and the No. 431 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.
