The recruitment of Hoover's Kerry Murphy may be drawing to a close as the defensive tackle named Alabama a favorite as he traveled to Tuscaloosa for an official visit.
Murphy, who topped the 2007 Birmingham News Super Senior list, said he could commit to new Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban by the end of the visit.
He said he was "excited" when he learned Saban would replace Mike Shula and looks forward to meeting other Tide recruits this weekend, especially top-prospect John Brown of Lakeland, Fla.
The 6-5, 315 pound Murphy played through several injuries this season, but Hoover coach Rush Propst told The News he was close to 100 percent before an All-American game in Florida last week.
Murphy is also considering Auburn, Miami, Louisville, Clemson, Kentucky and Ole Miss.
