Following the Future: Alabama commits in action (10/26-27)
The majority of Alabama commitments will suit up this week for critical games on their schedule. There are heavyweight showdowns, region/district/league games; some who are hoping to remain undefeated and others looking to bounce back from losses ahead of postseason play.
Five-star wide receiver commitment Jaime Ffrench was sensational on Thursday. Ffrench recorded five receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns, including this incredible catch. Linebacker Quinton Reese and his Ramsay teammates defeated Carver Birmingham 41-12 on Thursday.
BOL provides a closer look at other Alabama commitments in action on Friday.
