2024 TE Jay Lindsey commits to Alabama Crimson Tide

Butler (Ala.) Patrician Academy three-star tight end Jay Lindsey has committed to Alabama. He chose the Crimson Tide following his decommitment from Mississippi State on Aug. 26.

Alabama offered Lindsey in June. He returned to Tuscaloosa for a visit at the end of July, as defensive line coach Freddie Roach and tight ends coach Joe Cox led Bama’s recruitment.

“The offer from Alabama is a dream come true,” Lindsey told BOL. I have been watching Alabama since I was a little kid. I grew up an Alabama fan. It’s really cool to get an offer from them…

“I love them,” he said regarding the Tide’s assistant coaches. “They are really great and have taken me in. I talk to Coach Roach more since he is my area recruiter. He is a really good dude. I like both of them.”

Lindsey is now the second tight end to pledge to Nick Saban and the Tide, joining elite Carrollton (Ga.) four-star Caleb Odom, the No. 51 overall prospect and No. 3 TE in the cycle. Alabama’s class now has 19 total pledges.
