Alabama added another elite offensive lineman to its 2017 recruiting class when Lexington, Ky., standout Jedrick Wills committed to the Crimson Tide.

The 6-foot-5, 318-pound Wills is the top prospect in Kentucky at Lafayette High School. He committed to Alabama over Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee and Notre Dame.

Wills announced his commitment to Alabama in a Bleacher Report video. Alabama now has the No. 1 class in the 247Sports composite team rankings, but the Crimson Tide are at 22 commitments to just 17 for Ohio State.

It's the second time in three years that Alabama has gotten the top prospect from Kentucky. Damien Harris, a former five-star recruit, picked Alabama in 2015. Now, he's established himself as the Crimson Tide's starting running back.

Wills is ranked as the No. 42 overall recruit, a four-star prospect, in the 247Sports composite. He is also the No. 10 offensive tackle.

"I would think his size, his aggressiveness, his footwork," Lafayette coach Eric Shaw said earlier this year, when asked what Alabama likes about Wills. "He's a very large individual that has great feet. He plays the game very physical. Any school would love to have that."

Wills becomes the 22nd member of Alabama's recruiting class.

Alabama has offensive line commitments from top offensive tackles Alex Leatherwood of Pensacola, Fla., Kendall Randolph of Madison, Elliot Baker of City College of San Francisco and interior Cullman offensive lineman Hunter Brannon.
