Alabama landed a big offensive line commitment on Friday when 6-foot-7, 315-pound recruit Tommy Brown pledged to the Crimson Tide.

Brown, from powerhouse Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif., is an Alabama legacy. His father Vince threw the shot put in the early 1980s. He earned his Alabama offer in early June.

Brown is a four-star recruit, ranked as the No. 169 national recruit in the 247Sports composite, the No. 12 offensive tackle and No. 23 recruit in California. Brown has close to 20 major offers, including Oregon, California and Auburn.

He was in town for Alabama's Champions Cookout along with many other high-profile recruits.

Brown is Alabama's seventh current commitment for the 2018 class and he becomes the first offensive lineman to commit. Alabama is looking to sign a smaller offensive line class this year so Brown is likely just one of three who will sign.

Other offensive line targets include St. George, Utah four-star Penei Sewell, Cordova, Tenn., three-star Jerome Carvin and Norco, Calif., standout Jarrett Bell. Carvin is also in Tuscaloosa this weekend.
