Kareem Heading South.

Written Wednesday June 24th at 3:00 PM

When Farmington Hills Harrison Defensive Lineman, Khalid Kareem made his expected announcement, he had 36 schools to choose from. He has made his decision and it's an interesting one.

He is heading south to Tuscaloosa Alabama.

Kareem committed to Alabama in front of Harrison supporters, friends, family, and coaches.

He will play for Nick Saban, a former Michigan State and Louisiana State coach. Saban has won three national championships, one at LSU and the other two at Alabama.

Kareem whom transferred from West Bloomfield in 2013 to Harrison intentionally committed to Michigan State but he de-commited opening up his recruiting process again. Alabama was one of his top choices as was Michigan, Notre Dame and also Michigan State.

He will now focus on his senior season at Harrison as they are one of the favorites in the White along with Southfield, Adams, and Oak Park.  The Hawks are expected to be one of the top teams in Division Two to compete for a State title. Harrison was a state semifinalist last season before losing on a controversial call to Muskegon Mona Shores in the Division Two State semifinals opens up the season on August 28th at Grand Valley State against East Kentwood, a team that made the Division One State semifinals losing to Clarkston last season.

We'll see what happens.
