Hassenauer, who stands 6-foot-3 and tops the scale at 295-pounds, will become only the second Minnesota product to play for the Crimson Tide, and the first since 1925.

Listed as a three-star prospect per Rivals.com, Hassenauer selected the Crimson Tide over the likes of Minnesota and Vanderbilt.

With his verbal pledge to Alabama, Hassenauer becomes the 13th verbal commitment in respect to the 2014 signing class.
