Jaquan Yulee, a linebacker who had been committed to Alabama for several months, backed off his pledge on Thursday afternoon.

The 6-foot, 252-pound Yulee is from Chesapeake, Va. He announced in a tweet that he would still consider Alabama, but wanted to "make sure I'm making the right choice." Yulee is a four-star recruit.

Alabama has one class of 2016 linebacker commit now in Riley Cole of Oneonta, but are in good position to land in-state standouts Ben Davis of Gordo and Lyndell Wilson of Carver-Montgomery. Christian Bell, a class of 2015 grayshirt from Hoover, has enrolled and could be a JACK linebacker.

Dontavious Jackson, a four-star linebacker from Houston, Texas, is also high on Alabama and plans an official visit to Tuscaloosa.
