Jerry Jeudy, one of the top receivers in the country, committed to Alabama on Thursday night.

The 6-foot-1, 177-pound Jeudy had a final five of Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Tennessee and Miami. He's ranked as a four-star recruit and as the No. 36 player in America. He will enroll at Alabama in January.

Jeudy announced his commitment on the Tony Sands radio show at a local south Florida restaurant.

"To all the coaches that recruited me, thank you for the opportunities," Jeudy said. "I will now be committing to the University of Alabama."

Jeudy, who attends Deerfield Beach (Fla.) High School, has been an elite prospect since before his sophomore season, when he earned an Alabama offer.

He's close friends with Alabama sophomore receiver Calvin Ridley and the two were previously teammates at Monarch High School near Fort Lauderdale in south Florida.

Jeudy is the second receiver to join the Alabama recruiting class along with 6-foot-6 Lewisville, Texas four-star recruit Tyrell Shavers. He's the 18th commitment for the 2017 class.

Jeudy had 41 catches for 496 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior. At The Opening in Beaverton, Ore., he built a strong bond with Alabama quarterback commit Tua Tagovailoa and was his top target during 7on7 action.
