Alabama Football: 2019 Recruiting Signee Jeffery Carter

Based on the superlative play of former Alabama football, now NFL players, the Crimson Tide can rightfully claim being known as DBU. Haha Clinton-Dix, Landon Collins, Kareem Jackson, Eddie Jackson, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Marlon Humphrey and others have become NFL starters and stars.

So much NFL success and Nick Saban’s personal track record as a defensive backs coach make Alabama football an easy choice for top defensive back recruits. For those unafraid to compete in an always loaded Alabama football depth chart, Tuscaloosa is the place.

Still, choices are not always easy and young men in their late teens can be unpredictable.
