St. Paul's four-star cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis announced his commitment to Alabama on Friday.

The rising senior narrowed his list to the Crimson Tide, Auburn and Florida State recently before settling on Alabama.

"He committed to the premier program in the country," St. Paul's head coach Steve Mask said. "They are who they are. We are excited for him and the opportunity he has in front of him."

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Armour-Davis is the third-rated prospect in the state among the class of 2018, according to the 247 composite rankings, and is ranked No. 121 in the nation. He is committed to play in the U.S. Army All-American Game.

"It feels great honestly," Armour-Davis told AL.com on Friday. "I'm happy with the decision. It's a good day for me and my family."

A first-team Class 5A All-State and All-Coastal Alabama selection, Armour-Davis finished his junior season with 31 tackles and three interceptions on defense. He also had three TD receptions and one rushing score on offense.

"He's very tall," Mask said. "Obviously, his speed is unreal. He has great ball skills He could really play on both sides of the ball. As far as being a DB is concerned, he can really cover you. In that league (the SEC), it is all about who can cover who."

Armour-Davis is the latest in a successful line of Saints to commit to and eventually play at Alabama. They include quarterback AJ McCarron, safety Mark Barron and, most recently, offensive lineman Josh Casher.

The senior always planned to commit in the summer in an effort to help place total focus on St. Paul's quest for a third Class 5A state title in his four years at the school. The Saints lost to Jackson in the quarterfinals a year ago.

"It was always a priority for me to get it done before the fall," he said. "We didn't have the best year last year. I know 9-4 is OK and it may be good for some schools, but we expect more at St. Paul's. It didn't feel right to go out early in the playoffs and at home to boot. We have some big goals this year. Going undefeated would be nice, but our ultimate goal is to get back to the championship game and dominate."

Also a track standout, Armour-Davis won both the Class 5A triple jump and 100-meter dash at the state track meet in Gulf Shores earlier this month.

He said Alabama just felt like the best place for he and his family.

"Alabama, Auburn and Florida State are all pretty good programs obviously," he said. "This wasn't just about football for me. Alabama is a great school in general, and I think it can do a lot for me on the field and in my future in general."
