Desmond Ricks, five-star cornerback from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, signed with Alabama on December 22. The decision ultimately came down between Alabama and LSU. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders attempted to get involved in the race for the elite athlete.

“It’s definitely hard to turn down,” said Ricks, the No. 20 overall prospect and No. 2 cornerback in the 2023 On3 Consensus. “With him calling me so late towards my decision, it was like in the beginning of December and I had to commit towards the end of the December. So it was just kind of too late getting out there and all that.”

Ricks also discussed why he chose the Crimson Tide and his pursuit of another five-star cornerback. READ HERE!
