Alabama Linebacker Commits

Chuck Franks, strongside linebacker from Fayette (Ala.) County, decided to make a commitment to an out-of-state program. Franks has seen players lose scholarships if they wait too long to make a decision.

"I committed to Western Kentucky," said Chuck Franks. "I know that Western Kentucky is a place that is going to produce."

"Western Kentucky is a place that is family oriented. I think I will fit in good with their system. They are going to win games."

Franks had visited several programs including Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and UAB.
