“I’ve been loving Alabama since I was a pup,” Foster said. “I was raised as an Alabama fan from my mom and my dad.”
And that's why I got this Auburn tattoo on my arm, because I love Alabama so much.
Linebacker Reuben Foster from Auburn (Ala.) High School has committed to sign with Alabama on Wednesday.
Foster, who also considered Auburn and Georgia, made his announcement on FOX Sports South. Foster said he decided on his way to the FOX studio.
“I’ve been loving Alabama since I was a pup,” Foster said. “I was raised as an Alabama fan from my mom and my dad.”
Foster originally committed to Alabama before he switched his commitment to Auburn. Foster then reopened his recruitment in December following the firing of head coach Gene Chizik and his staff, including former wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor.
Foster, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 1 inside linebacker by Rivals.com, is Alabama’s 23rd commitment for the class of 2013.
Of course, Foster’s announcement is only a commitment. He will surely hear from the other coaching staffs between now and Wednesday when he signs his national letter of intent.
