Southern Express is set and ready to host its 5th annual Border War 7-on-7 tournament Saturday in Alabaster, Alabama. Several Alabama football targets are expected to be in action along with multiple highly-recruited athletes.

The Tide’s 2022 four-star athlete target, Omari Kelly leads a loaded Southern Express team, which includes Alabama’s 2023 defensive back targets, Tony Mitchell and Jahlil Hurley. They will be joined by rising 2023 defensive backs, Sylvester Smith and Ethan Nation. Smith received his 7th and 8th offers from Georgia and Oklahoma this week, and Nation is closing in on 30 D1 offers.
