While 5-star Ben Davis aims for freshman All-American, mom knows only path there

The party's over. Now, the work begins.

The pep rally of a National Signing Day announcement was winding down when new Alabama linebacker spoke about the next step. The nation's No. 10 recruit is set to begin that transition to a Crimson Tide freshman with his own tall goals.

"I want to be a freshman All-American, be a team leader always and run around and make plays," Davis said. "I'm going to be coachable. I know I don't know everything yet so I will just continue grinding, stay humble and just work hard."

Work ethic was a theme when Davis and his parents looked to the future.
