Alius Mayo is set to announce a commitment decision soon and will choose between Alabama, Cal, LSU and others.
Mayo is a member of the 2027 recruiting class, and he attends Modesto Junior College in California. He holds recent offers from Alabama, Arizona State, Cal Louisville and LSU.
The Crimson Tide jumped in on Mayo in June and immediately hosted him for an official visit after offering.
“My biggest takeaway was that Alabama has a blueprint for getting cornerbacks to the league,” Mayo told Touchdown Alabama after the visit.
Alabama has continued to show interest in Mayo since his official visit. If the Tide can land him, he should be a perfect fit in Alabama’s secondary.
The 6-foot-4 defensive back is a long and athletic cornerback who possesses a large cover radius with his long arms. That physical trait allows him to consistently play through the hands of pass catchers as a defender. His highlights are filled with plenty of pass breakups. He also possesses the ability to make tackles in space, which is something the Tide prioritizes on all levels of its defense, especially in the secondary.
