The Crimson Tide are the latest to offer the Alabama legacy.

Nick Saban offered him after camp last week.

“After the camp, I felt good,” Kirkpatrick told Touchdown Alabama. “I knew I did good in the camp. Coach Saban called me to his office, and he told me he would love for me to go to school there and play for him. I feel like it just gives me a boost. It gives me more confidence.”

The rising senior is projected to be a defensive back at the next level. At 6-foot and 190 pounds, he is a scrappy defender, who roams around the secondary, jumping at every opportunity to create a turnover.
