Alabama is in the top five for one of its top defensive line targets in the 2020 class.

Four-star defensive end Zykeivous Walker of Ellaville (Ga.) Schley County released his finalists on Wednesday.

Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee all made the cut in no particular order.

The Crimson Tide had Walker on campus earlier this year.

“Nick Saban,” Walker said of his favorite part about Alabama. “I enjoyed going in his office and talking to him. We just had a good conversation. He was just letting me know that whenever I come to Alabama I’m not just going to be there for football, I’m going to be preparing for life after football.”

The 6-foot-4, 260-pounder plans to make a decision by the start of his senior football season.

Walker is rated the No. 5 strong-side defensive end and the No. 98 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Alabama currently stands atop the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings with 14 prospects committed. Of the 14, two are along the defensive line in four-star defensive tackles Jayson Jones and Jah-Marien Latham. UA is coming off signing arguably the best defensive line class ever on paper in 2019 that included five-star defensive end Antonio Alfano -- the No. 1 player in the class according to 247Sports -- four-star defensive tackles Byron Young and Ishamel Sopsher and four-star defensive ends Justin Eboigbe and Braylen Ingraham.

Along with Walker, the Tide has its sight set on a number of defensive linemen in the 2020 class, including Jordan Burch, Myles Murphy, Andy Boykin, McKinnley Jackson, Jaquelin Roy, Jamil Burroughs, Jacobian Guillory, among others.
