Alabama commits, Latham;Story, helping change narrative around small school football recruiting

There is no secret the state of Alabama has produced some great football talent in the past and this trend has continued as the state has boasted multiple 5-Star recruits over the last couple of recruiting cycles.

This talent comes from all over the state but rarely do it come from schools in lower classifications, and especially not from the lowest classification of them all, 1-A. Do not get it wrong, 1-A football in Alabama is highly competitive and some great athletes are produced within their ranks, but they often face challenges when it comes to getting their players to the next level.
