Former Alabama Crimson Tide interior offensive lineman James Brockermeyer has a new home for the 2024 college football season. On Tuesday, Brockermeyer announced his commitment to play for the TCU Horned Frogs next season.

The news of the former Crimson Tide center’s commitment should not come as too much of a surprise to those closely following the story. Less than 72 hours ago, it was reported that Brockermeyer was expected to commit to TCU. Now, things can change dramatically within a 72-hour window, especially when it comes to the NCAA transfer portal. But fortunately for TCU and their head coach Sonny Dykes, they have won the lottery when it comes to acquiring the services of this former high-end recruit from the 2021 recruiting class.

More on Brockermeyer

During his three seasons with the Crimson Tide, James Brockermeyer helped Alabama win 36 games and take two SEC conference titles.

James Brockermeyer played high school football at All Saints Episcopal (Texas), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 234 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Teammates at Alabama have noticed James Brockermeyer and his talent. In particular, defensive lineman Damon Payne praised him.

“James has been a dog ever since he got here,” Payne told reporters. “He’s one of those guys that’s never gonna stop. You may be sleeping on him, but he’s never gonna stop working. The reps have definitely gotten a lot harder with James. He’s definitely turned that switch on, as he always does. And I’m very happy for him and what he’s doing right now.”

This spring, James Brockermeyer worked with Alabama’s first team offense. Despite that, he still entered the Transfer Portal and ended up at TCU, where his twin brother Tommy Brockermeyer plays after transferring from Alabama.
