Alabama landed its 14th commitment of the 2019 cycle on Thursday as three-star athlete De'Rickey Wright committed to the Crimson Tide.

"First off I would like to thank God for blessing me with the ability and the mindset to play the sport I love!" Wright said on Twitter. "I would also like to thank my family and friends for staying in my corner and believing in me every step of the way! I would also like to thank every school for offering me and believing in my talent! I would like to thank my mom, and nana for being amazing and taking care of a young man the way y'all did is incredible! I would also like to thank Bootsie, Momma Hale, and J-Hun for taking me in with open arms and treating me like I was their own. I would also like to thank all the coaches for teaching me my craft and being there when I need you! Judges 18:5 says, "And they said to him 'Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed.'" With that being said I would like to say that I'm committing to the University of Alabama."

A product of Attalla (Ala.) Etowah, Wright had a growing list of offers that included LSU, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Texas A&M among many others.

A versatile athlete, Wright told BamaOnLine that Nick Saban offered him at safety during a Junior Day visit.

“He had told me they like me at safety,’ Wright said after his Feb. 16 visit that yielded an offer. “He wants me to go to a camp this summer because I play a whole bunch of different positions. He said I may grow out of it but right now they want me at safety.”

The Tide immediately shot up the in-state athlete's list when Saban delivered the good news. It was only a matter of time before a commitment was made.

“It’s one of my top schools,” he said at the time. “Alabama has great everything. They’ll be at the top of my list.”

New wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins is Wright's primary recruiter.

The talented multi-sport (baseball) athlete tallied 54 tackles, including five tackles for a loss and two sacks, seven interceptions (three of which were returned for touchdowns), six pass breakups and two fumble recoveries last season.

The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder is rated the No. 25 athlete and the No. 390 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Wright's commitment strengthen's the Tide's grip on the No. 1 class in the nation, bumping UA's score to 237.66. Wright is also the seventh in-state prospect to commit to Alabama in 2020.
