Central linebacker Markail Benton’s play on the field is often wild and unpredictable. His final decision on National Signing Day, however, was anything but.
Benton stuck by the verbal commitment he made last June and officially signed with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Wednesday. The four-star linebacker is now locked into an Alabama recruiting class that is sure to be considered among the best in the nation at day’s end.
Once Benton put the pen to the paper, his younger brother let out a “Roll Tide” into the microphone in front of him. Based on Benton’s own words, it sounded like he was excited enough to do the same.
