Jahlil Hurley, nation's No. 2 cornerback, postpones commitment
Florence (Ala.) cornerback Jahlil Hurley was set to announce his commitment on Jan. 22, but he announced Tuesday that he has decided to postpone that decision for now.
Hurley is the No. 23 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the country’s No. 2 cornerback and the No. 4 prospect in Alabama in the 2023 cycle.
“After careful consideration I have decided to postpone my commitment to a date to be determined,” Hurley wrote on Twitter.
The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder already holds more than 20 offers, including Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Michigan and Texas A&M. The Crimson Tide are considered the overwhelming favorites to land him, with the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine giving them a 99.1 percent chance.
Jahlil Hurley took a pair of unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa this fall, as well as one to Auburn. According to On3’s Auburn Live, Hurley is expected to visit Auburn again this weekend for the program’s junior day festivities.
