Patrick Surtain Jr. and Tyson Campbell, the top two defensive backs in the ESPN 300 rankings, have been shutting down opposing receivers as high school teammates. They'll now be rivals in the SEC.
Surtain, the No. 5 overall recruit and top available player left on national signing day, surprised many Wednesday by committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide over LSU. Campbell, the No. 9 overall recruit in the ESPN 300, chose the Georgia Bulldogs.
Both players were five-star prospects at American Heritage High School in Plantation, Florida.
Surtain was down to Alabama and LSU but seemingly had the Tigers in the lead for quite some time. Alabama and Miami came on late in his recruitment, and he visited both schools in January.
"Why Alabama? Because of the coach over there," Surtain said of Nick Saban. "They win championships. Over here, we're used to winning, so I want to be a part of that winning culture."
His father, Patrick Surtain Sr., played 11 NFL seasons as a defensive back for the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs. The three-time Pro Bowl selection finished his career with 37 interceptions.
DRAFT HIM IN 3-4 YEARS, CARL!!!!
