ST. PETERSBURG, Florida – Shawn Burgess-Becker hasn’t ruled out taking an official visit to somewhere other than Alabama this month.
The four-star safety from Monarch High School in Florida has been committed to Alabama since April, but said this week in Orlando that Miami was pushing hard for him to use one of his official visits on the Hurricanes.
After the Under Armour All-America Game at Tropicana Field, Burgess-Becker indicated a Miami official visit was possible, but that it wouldn’t be his decision.
“I’m not sure – maybe, maybe not,” Burgess-Becker said about taking more official visits. “My parents plan all that stuff out. When they plan it out, I’ll let people know on Twitter.”
Even if he does take other visits, Burgess-Becker seemed all Crimson during the Under Armour week. He hung out with the then-10 other Alabama commits — Two more jumped on board on Friday — and was actively recruiting other players like Iman Marshall to Tuscaloosa.
“Iman Marshall…I want him to come bad,” he said. “That’s his decision to make, but it’ll be a great experience if he comes to Alabama.”
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound safety is expected to enroll at Alabama in the summer. His Monarch teammate, Calvin Ridley, is also committed to Alabama.
