Alabama football gained its first 5-Star commit, offensive tackle, J.C. Latham.

Alabama football received a big boost in team ranking with the verbal commitment of 5-Star, J.C. Latham. When team rankings are updated, the Crimson Tide should move from No. 45 to No. 25 in the 2021 team rankings.

Alabama football fans have been concerned and some outright worried about the 2021 class. The Crimson Tide has lagged behind Ohio State, Clemson, Florida and LSU. More shocking is the Tide also trailed Tennessee, USC, North Carolina and Michigan. Less kindly put, more accurate than ‘trailed’ would be ‘lagged far behind.
