Wednesday was the Late National Signing Day for College Football.

Alabama according to 247 signed the number one class again. This is the eighth time in the last nine years. Every signing class under Nick Saban with exception of 2018 and 2019 has won at least one national championship.

Break down by position and ranking overall or by ranking. Naming names of players will come later.

QB pro style position #5 and #12. RB-Postion ranking #1 and #15. WR-position ranking #40. TE/HB #11 TE. OL-Overall ranking-#7, #40, #76, #177 and #290. Position ranking No. 1, 11.19. DL- 247 No. 1 overall. No. 10 overall.

The rest Top 100 DL No. 62, 77. Other DL No 158, 164, and 254. LB-MLB Position ranking # 5 and 6. Overall ranking No. 78 and 110.

CB-Position ranking No. 9, 11, and 13. Overall ranking No. 91, 102, and 127. S-Position ranking No. 2, 8. Overall ranking No. 43 and 84. K- Overall No 1.

This was another big time class. As you know some of these players will pan out, some will not. Another recruiting service ESPN 300 Alabama signed 24 from that list. On paper this could be the best signing class. In time we will know.
