With Joshua Perry and Brendan Scales having grayshirt concerns, both recruits decided to decommit on Tuesday. Scales decided to switch his commitment to the Missouri Tigers and Perry’s final destination is still unknown. Losing Perry and Scales is not ideal, but they should have enough scholarships for commits on National Signing Day.

Joshua Perry is a very aggressive tackler, but will need to add on weight for the role he is best in. He has the frame to put on size, but will have to continue to improve in coverage as well. This is a developmental commit who could find the field later in his career. |

Scales is a great addition for a position of need for the Tide. While you shouldn’t expect the same type of athleticism as you see with OJ Howard, he is a decent athlete with strong hands. Look for Scales to be a good intermediate pass catcher for Alabama. |
