Alabama Football: Why a 3-Star RB commit rather than a 5-Star

This is not another of those ‘less is more’ claims so often used when recruiting takes a turn. Alabama football has a history of turning 3-Star recruits into great players. Josh Jacobs being the lasted.

Also, 5-Star recruits fail to reach their potential in every college football program able to gain their signatures.

The announcement of 3-Star running back, Kyle Edwards choosing the Tide causes many Alabama football fans to ask what happened with 5-Star, RB, recruit Zachary Evans. For months conventional recruiting wisdom has been the Crimson Tide will have room for only two running backs in the 2020 class.
