Alabama has landed 2019 four-star safety Brendan Gant, the Lakeland (Fla.) Kathleen product announced on Twitter Thursday afternoon.

Gant is commitment No. 5 in the Tide's class, which places the program at No. 3 in the 247Sports Team Rankings.

The Florida product visited Tuscaloosa last weekend.

"It wasn’t a very long (visit), but it was great," Gant said of his time. "I enjoyed it. I learned a lot about the University and their goal academically for students. Definitely can't wait to go back."

Wide receivers coach Mike Locksley continues his hot streak on the recruiting trail after landing both five-star edge rusher Eyabi Anoma and four-star defensive tackle Christian Barmore in the 2018 class on Wednesday.

At 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Gant is rated the No. 8 safety and the No. 122 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.
