Alabama trending for multiple five-stars in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine

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.

He’s the only five-star in the class for Alabama right now, but that’s 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.

More on each prospect below:

WR Cederian Morgan

School: Benjamin Russell (Alexander City, AL)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 14 (#2 WR)
Commitment date: July 2

Intel: “Morgan was back in Tuscaloosa for A-Day. He loves the program, the staff, the track record of receiver development and there is a lot of support of Alabama in his family. Auburn is considered the biggest challenger.” — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting (April 27)

LB Xavier Griffin

School: Gainesville (Gainesville, GA)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 28 (#2 LB)
Commitment date: June 29

Intel: “Heading into the summer official visits, I continue to like where the Crimson Tide stand. With that, I’ve logged an expert pick on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine in favor of Alabama to land the five-star defender. … Christian Robinson has been leading the charge in recruiting Griffin to Alabama. It’s a program he’s always loved. He has family in Tuscaloosa. I think the other three need to make a move on the Tide in the final month.” — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting (May 28)

RB Ezavier Crowell

School: Jackson (Jackson, AL)
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 32 (#2 RB)
Commitment date: June 26

Intel: “Alabama 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 DeBoer’s program is in the pole position.” — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting (May 13)

“Alabama has been considered the favorite for Crowell for a long time and will be tough to beat for the reclassified running back. It’ll be up to other programs to move that needle elsewhere on upcoming official visits.” — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting (May 13)
