    Collin Sexton to Alabama

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Collin Sexton, the 6-foot-2, 182-pound guard from Pebblebrook (GA) High School, committed to Alabama Thursday on ESPNU.

    He also considered Kansas, Georgia Tech and North Carolina State.

    “Next year I will be going to Alabama,” he said. “I felt like Coach Avery Johnson, he was just a great coach. Everybody down there had very great energy, communication was great and they were on me for a long, long time.”

    Sexton joins forward Alex Reese, wing Herb Jones and forward Galin Smith in coach Avery Johnson’s 2017 class. Alabama also landed a commitment from 5-star wing John Petty on Thursday. 

    Sexton was named the MVP of the gold-medal winning USA U17 team this July in Spain.

    “I just worked on the stuff that I knew would help me get there,” he said of his rise this summer. “I told my family and my trainer, ‘If you get me in the door, I will do the rest.; And when I got there I just wanted to prove what I can do and help the team win.”

    Sexton said he hopes Johnson can help him get to the next level.

    “He just told me he can help me get to the next level,” he said. “He coached and played at the next level so he can help me get there.”
