Recruiting doesn't stop for Christmas Eve.

Saturday morning, linebacker Jose Ramirez from Auburndale, Florida, announced his verbal commitment to Arizona's 2017 class.

Ramirez is an under-the-radar recruit who had committed to South Alabama earlier this month. The Jaguars, of course, will face Air Force in the second Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl in Tucson on Dec. 30. 

Ramirez doesn't presently have a Scout.com profile, and he's listed as unranked on 247sports.com and Rivals.com. He also had offers from Eastern Kentucky, North Dakota State, Southeast Missouri State, Tennessee State, Troy, Bowling Green, Northern Illinois and Old Dominion. 

He's a 6-foot-3, 185 pound outside linebacker and the 24th player to commit to Arizona's 2017 class. Ramirez fills a position of need at linebacker, and he's one of four players listed at linebacker in Arizona's incoming class, joining Josh BrownTony Fields and Kylan Wilborn
