What does Kaydn Proctor's commitment mean for Alabama?
Kadyn Proctor, five-star offensive tackle from Southeast Polk High School in Des Moines, Iowa, announced a flip from Iowa to Alabama on Tuesday afternoon. Proctor was considered a heavy lean to the Crimson Tide after returning to Tuscaloosa for an unofficial visit this past weekend.
Five-star OL flips commitment to Alabama
Proctor committed to Iowa in June. Alabama finished No. 2 in his recruitment at the time. He received a heavy amount of attention from Alabama since the decision. Proctor returned to Alabama for three days prior to the start of the dead period.
Reports started stemming out of Iowa the last two days that Proctor would not remain in-state. Alabama and Oregon were considered as the only other options. He took took a visit to Oregon in early November which caused some to believe a flip to the Ducks was possible.
Alabama has been viewed as the biggest threat to Iowa from the BamaInisder perspective throughout the course of the last few months. The visit this past weekend solidified the Tide’s position with the elite lineman.
Proctor joins an offensive line class that also features Wilkin Formby, Top 100 offensive tackle, Miles McVay, four-star offensive tackle, Olaus Alinen, four-star offensive lineman and Ryqueze McElderry, four-star offensive guard. Raymond Pulido, three-star offensive tackle quietly decommitted from Alabama last month. He committed to Arizona last week.
