Sources have confirmed that Jalen Hurts, a 2016 dual-threat quarterback from Channelview (Texas) High School, has committed to Alabama.

Hurts becomes the eleventh commitment in the ’16 class bumping the Tide to the No. 7 spot in the 247Sports Team Rankings.

Back in April, Hurts took an unofficial visit to Alabama with his father/coach, Averion Hurts. The elder Hurts had this to say about the visit:

“They’re a little bit more wide-open then they have been in the past, which is a plus. They do a little more no-huddle, gun stuff. It was great for me, and Jalen enjoyed it too, to see their tempo and their structure. As a high school coach you can understand how Coach Saban has gotten to the level he is at. He expects a lot from his kids, and he does a lot and cares a lot for them. It’s clear their goal is to win a national championship every single year, so we got to see what kind of things go in to achieving that goal.”

On Friday night Hurt's father sent one simple text after the news broke.

"Roll Tide," Hurts said.

Hurts, a 6-foot-2, 208-pound prospect, is rated the No. 9 dual-threat quarterback and the No. 277 overall player in the class per the 247Sports Composite rankings. He chose the Tide over Texas A&M, Mississippi State and Florida.

As a junior, Hurts passed for 2,545 yard and 21 touchdowns. He also rushed for 951 yards and another 19 scores.
