Alabama football has a large number of recruits visiting Tuscaloosa for Homecoming weekend. Many of them are from 2020, including the No. 1 rated player in the nation for the class. The biggest buzz for the Missouri weekend is the visit by 5-Star and No. 1 rated DT in the 2019 class, Ishmael Sopsher.

Sopsher is from Amite, LA, as is Alabama football wide receiver, Devonta Smith. Big Ish has been the top 2019 priority for Ed Orgeron for over a year. The Bengal Tigers have a huge home date with Georgia on Saturday and Sopsher opting for a Tuscaloosa rather than a Baton Rouge visit is significant.
