Alabama hosted 2021 four-star cornerback Latrell McCutchin back in March on an unofficial visit, and on Monday the rising junior from Austin (Texas) LBJ got some good news from the Crimson Tide in the form of an offer.

“It’s something I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little kid,” McCutchin told BamaOnLine. “For it to actually happen, it’s real crazy to me. I’m still trying to come to my senses about the whole thing.”

The four-star DB got the news from Nick Saban himself. McCutchin says the Tide head coach likes a lot about him both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Saban also credited McCutchin’s character as a reason he is interested.

The Lone Star State native looked back on his visit to Tuscaloosa earlier this spring.

“I really liked it,” McCutchin, who plans to return to campus in the summer, said. “I still to this day haven’t seen a facility like theirs. It was crazy.”

Why was Alabama the dream school for McCutchin growing up?

“Anybody who knows me knows that I hate losing,” he said. “Just the way that they win and things like that excited me. Then I started realizing how many guys they put in the league and I thought that’s a place I’d like to be.”

With the dream offer in his pocket, did he consider making a commitment?

“Of course it crossed my mind, but I’m probably going to take my recruiting process pretty slow, make sure I’m making the right decision,” McCutchin said. “But them being my dream school, they’re definitely at the top of my list.”

The leader?

“Yes, I would say that,” McCutchin said.

At just over 6-feet tall and 176 pounds, McCutchin ranks as the No. 7 cornerback and the No. 117 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.
