All the rage the last few months has been around the 2021 recruiting class, and the Tide’s meteoric rise from being ranked #55 to #2 in a very short period of time. That excitement, coupled with the total lack of spring football, has led to most of us fans totally forgetting about most of the 2020 signing class. A class which, by the way, features four 5-star prospects and an astounding nine top-75 players.
It’s been discussed ad nauseum that freshmen will have the short end of the stick when it comes to trying to break into the starting lineup this year due to COVID cancelling so much spring and summer practice time, but time and time again Alabama has seen freshman join during fall camp and wind up starting day 1 anyway.
