Josh Frazier gives verbal to Alabama

Having lost two verbal commitments over the course of the week, offensive lineman Viane Talamaivao (USC) and defensive back Stephen Roberts (Auburn), the Alabama football program reeled in a highly touted prospect in the midst of Saturday's college football action.

Roughly three hours after Alabama defeated Chattanooga, Har-Ber High School (Springdale, Arkansas) defensive tackle Josh Frazier gave his verbal commitment to the University of Alabama for 2014.

With his verbal pledge to the Crimson Tide, Josh Frazier becomes the 22nd verbal commitment in respect to Alabama's 2014 signing class.
