TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Before Reuben Foster came to Alabama, he was a star. He was ranked No. 18 in the ESPN 300, and he loved the attention that came with being a top recruit.
He committed three different times during the recruiting process – first to Alabama, then to Auburn and then to Alabama again. On signing day he wore a straw hat, reminiscent of the one Nick Saban can be seen wearing on the Crimson Tide practice fields.
But that mentality changed once he arrived in Tuscaloosa. Foster was one of 13 top 100 recruits to sign with Alabama in that 2013 class.
