Ben Davis, UA’s 2018 class becomes important after injury at OLB

Remember all the negative reactions from Alabama’s 2018 signing class?

The theme was the coaching staff did not recruit hard enough and how this group did not meet Nick Saban’s or the fans expectations of being a No. 1 class. Well, after Saturday’s scrimmage, the sixth best class in the nation has quickly grown in importance following a serious injury.

While it will be without Terrell Lewis (knee) for some time, sophomore outside linebacker Christopher Allen went down with a knee injury. He had missed a couple days of practice and was absent during the media viewing period of the scrimmage.
