Another big Alabama football recruiting target has set a decision timeline. Amari Jefferson, a four-star athlete from Chattanooga, Tenn., released his top three schools on Monday.

Jefferson will decide between Georgia, Tennessee and the Crimson Tide on Aug. 5.

Jefferson, listed at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds has been committed to the Volunteers’ baseball program for two years. Yet, as he’s developed into a prospect on the football field, Jefferson appears set to be a difference-maker on SEC Saturdays.

247Sports Composite ranked Jefferson as the No. 3 player in Tennessee and the 16th overall athlete. After 72 catches and 17 touchdowns as a junior, Jefferson attended Alabama’s junior day and received an offer. He took an official visit to each of his finalists in June, starting with a stop in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama is expected to get a number of commitments in the next couple of weeks. It earned three on Sunday and could land offensive lineman Casey Poe and wideout Keylen Adams by the weekend.

The Tide currently has two wide receiver commits: Pennsylvania’s Rico Scott and Foley’s Perry Thompson. Thompson, the fourth-best receiver in the class, has received heavy interest from Auburn as Alabama looks to fend off the in-state flip.
