McMillon, from Whitehaven High School in Memphis, Tennessee, will graduate from high school in May. He is the 21st overall commitment for Alabama from the class of 2015. The 6’3, 22olb McMillon seems to fit the Tide’s defensive scheme well.

The Tide also secured linebacker Keaton Anderson out of Florence, Alabama for their 2015 class. However, McMillon is considered to be the better prospect.
Alabama now has 14 four star recruits, and three five star recruits for their 2015 class. This once again puts them near the top of the rankings.
He had reportedly narrowed his list down to three schools before he made the announcement. Mississippi and Michigan were the other two that he was seriously considering.
With the luck that Alabama and the SEC as a whole have had with decommitments so far this year, any commitment should be take with a grain of salt.
247 Sports ranks McMillon as the number 217 prospect in the nation. He is the number 15 linebacker, and the number 8 overall player in the state of Tennessee.
He drew offers from several schools, including Mississippi, Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Clemson, and Michigan. He plans on studying engineering, so that was likely another perk about heading to Tuscaloosa.
