2017 JUCO OT Elliot Baker committed to Alabama on Monday night.

Alabama picked up a major commitment late Monday night in four-star junior college offensive tackle Elliot Baker out of City College of San Francisco.

The Golden State native committed during his stay for the Tide’s summer camp, his first ever visit to Tuscaloosa.

“Oh man, it feels incredible,” Baker told BamaOnLine of his commitment. “I’m just really pleased with my decision. I’m happy that I can focus on school and the upcoming season (now).”

UA offered Baker in April and has since kept in frequent contact with the elite lineman. Outside linebackers coach Tosh Lupoi is his primary recruiter.

Last week, Baker told BOL that Alabama was his top school and that if it felt right on his visit this week, he could see himself committing. He was also high on Oregon, Mississippi State, Georgia, Auburn and Arizona State.

“Just meeting with Coach (Nick) Saban,” Baker said of when he knew he wanted to give his verbal pledge. “He told me I could sleep on it, but I told him I’m sure. I’m all in. He was really happy. He was excited about it.

“He just explained to me the process they have at Alabama and everything that kind of goes into making their program what it is. There’s so much stuff.”

The 6-foot-7, 295-pound prospect was so impressed with campus, he might just stay a few days longer than his scheduled departure date of Wednesday.

“The campus is beautiful,” Baker said. “It’s amazing; it’s so nice. The complex is unreal. You feel like you don’t want to even leave. I got to spend a lot of time with the strength and conditioning staff and see how the players work and what they do. It was really nice to check it all out.”

It was his bond with another elite Alabama offensive tackle commitment that helped in Baker’s decision.

“That was part of the reason for my commitment,” Baker said. “I was hanging out with Alex Leatherwood the last couple of days. We’ve just been kicking it having it a good time. He’s a cool dude. I met a bunch of players on the team.”

Baker is ready to take on the role of recruiter for the Tide’s 2017 class.

“Hell yeah, definitely,” Baker said. “I gotta start on that now.”

Baker is rated the nation’s No. 2 JUCO offensive tackle and the No. 2 overall JUCO player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite. At the time of his commitment, Baker was trending to Alabama at 75 percent on the 247Sports Crystal Ball.

After not receiving any Division I offers coming out of high school, Baker becomes the tenth commitment in the Crimson Tide’s 2017 class that ranks No. 3 according to the 247Sports Team Rankings.

Baker has three years of eligibility to play two, and will enroll in January.
