    Trendon Watford, the 6-foot-9 power forward from Mountain Brook (AL), named Alabama, LSU, Indiana, and Memphis as his final four schools on Friday, via Twitter.

    Watford has taken official visits Memphis (Oct. 4) and LSU (Nov. 2). He will take his third official visit to Alabama next month (Jan. 4).

    He spoke with ZAGSBLOG last month, breaking down his official visits.

    “I enjoyed LSU. It was a great visit,” said Watford. “I saw the campus. I was around the coaching staff and the players. I enjoyed their practice and their intensity the most.”

    Watford also spoke about his first official visit to Memphis.

    “I enjoyed that visit also,” he said. “That was my first time around the players. I enjoyed being able to see all the fans at Memphis Madness.”

    He will also be in attendance for the Alabama vs. Kentucky game on January 5.

    “Their pitch is they feel like they can use my versatility in good ways in their system,” said Watford on Alabama. “They’ve been on me since I was in about the seventh grade so we have a great relationship.”

    Watford has no other visits planned, but is looking to set a visit to Indiana for sometime in December. He hopes to make his decision sometime in the spring.

    “I’m looking for a program that is gonna me use me and my versatility the right way at multiple positions,” said Watford. “I’m also looking for a coaching staff that I trust can get me to the next level.”

    According to 247Sports, Watford is ranked as the No. 27 overall player in the Class of 2019 and the No. 1 player from the state of Alabama.
