Kalen DeBoer and Alabama are already building one of the top classes nationally in the On3 Industry Football Team Recruiting Rankings despite only holding five commitments heading into June.
Alabama currently sits at No. 5 in the rankings and has the second-highest average rating per pledge of any school in the country. A big reason for that is five-star cornerback Jorden Edmonds, who gave his verbal to the Tide back in March over USC, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas A&M and tons of other programs.
Heβs the only five-star in the class for Alabama right now, but thatβs expected to change over the next month. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), the Tide are favored to land not one, not two, but three more five-stars over the course of the next five weeks.Intel: βHeading into the summer official visits, I continue to like where the Crimson Tide stand. With that, Iβve logged an expert pick on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine in favor of Alabama to land the five-star defender. β¦ Christian Robinson has been leading the charge in recruiting Griffin to Alabama. Itβs a program heβs always loved. He has family in Tuscaloosa. I think the other three need to make a move on the Tide in the final month.β β Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting (May 28)
Intel: βAlabama is doing a great job with Crowell, a major in-state target for the Crimson Tide. Multiple other schools, like Auburn and Texas, are working to compete with Alabama, but Kalen DeBoerβs program is in the pole position.β β Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting (May 13
