Four-star linebacker J.J. Peterson's recent visit to Alabama seems to have made quite the impression on him.

According to 247Sports, Peterson toured the campus and the dorms, and he met Nick Saban.

"It was wonderful," Peterson said. "At first I had the jitters, but he told me to look him in the eye and he said he liked me."

After the visit, Peterson said Alabama, Oregon, Florida, Florida State and Georgia stand out to him, though Alabama has the edge.

"But basically, I really like Bama" he said. "Bama, it's just, I like their atmosphere. It's like a home team, family. Mostly all the players buy in, I like that buy in team."

Peterson is the No. 1 outside linebacker in the country on 247Sports, and he is the No. 5 player from the state of Georgia. The 6'2, 215-pound prospect is the No. 38 overall player in the Class of 2018.
