Four-star cornerback Earl Little Jr. was one of many elite prospects in Tuscaloosa, Ala., for Alabama‘s primetime matchup Saturday with rival LSU.

On Tuesday, he posted a photo from the visit of himself, five-star cornerback recruit Domani Jackson and Alabama cornerbacks coach Jay Valai walking up the tunnel at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

The caption was simple yet spoke volumes: “The guyz!”

Earl Little Jr. and Domani Jackson are two of the Crimson Tide’s top targets remaining

Earl Little Jr. and Domani Jackson are two of the best cornerbacks in the country.

Jackson, who is currently a USC commit but is considering Alabama and Michigan, is the top player at the position in the country. The On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies — rates him as the No. 5 overall player in the country.

The Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei player is also one of four Five Star Plus+ prospects in the country.

Little is the No. 80 recruit in the On3 Consensus. On3’s evaluators are much higher on the four-star recruit, ranking him as the No. 26 prospect in the 2022 On300.

Little talked with On3 National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton in September about his finalists and had high praise for the Crimson Tide.

“He told me whenever I’m ready, he’s gonna be there and he’s gonna take my word for it,” Little said of Nick Saban. “He wants me to come and compete for a starting job too.”

Alabama has the No. 1 recruiting class in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking. But of their 19 recruits, only one is a cornerback: Oxford (Ala.) Thompson four-star Trequon Fegans.

Fegans is a really good cornerback — he is the No. 117 overall recruit and 13th-best corner in the country — but the Crimson Tide would like at least one more recruit at the position.
