Alabama has been somewhat quiet so far in the 2021 college football recruiting cycle, but the Crimson Tide made some noise Friday afternoon.

Jacorey Brooks, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound receiver from Booker T. Washington High School in Miami, provided a nonbinding pledge to Nick Saban's program. Brooks is the nation's No. 3 receiver and No. 37 prospect overall in the 247Sports.com composite rankings.

"Roll with us or get rolled over," Brooks posted on Twitter.

Brooks is just Alabama's fourth commitment for this cycle, but he plays a position and hails from an area that have been extremely productive for recent Tide teams. Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley and Jerry Jeudy are former Miami-area receivers who signed with Alabama within the past decade and became NFL draft first-round selections.
