Alabama football became the 21st D1 program to offer highly-touted 2024 defensive lineman, Nigel Smith, on April 28.
Smith is a product of Melissa High School in Melissa, Texas. He garners a four-star rating from multiple recruiting outlets, and he is ranked as one of the top defensive lineman prospects in the 2024 recruiting class. He currently holds 25 D1 offers after recently picking up offers from Texas A&M, Miami and Arkansas.
The Texas product said receiving an offer from Alabama motivated him to continue to get better.
“It is definitely a great feeling,” Smith said.
