5. Aubrey Solomon, 5-star DT (Leesburg, GA)

Aubrey Solomon is a 5-star defensive tackle rated 25th nationally, second overall by his position. He is the third best defensive tackle available in the state of Georgia.

The reopening of Solomon’s recruitment let teams know he was still searching for a home. Alabama remains in his top three, next Georgia and Michigan, but there’s still work for them to do.

The Alabama Crimson Tide have just one defensive tackle recruit in this year’s class and six on the current roster. Landing Solomon would be a huge get for them. However, they only have one commitment from the state of Georgia.

Solomon took an official visit to Alabama on November 26. Head coach Nick Saban is conducting an in-home visit tonight, January 26 as well. Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh went go-karting with Solomon last week. So, Saban will have his work cut out for him.

The Crimson Tide currently have just six total defensive tackles on the roster for 2017. He did take an official visit to USC on January 13, but they aren’t in his top three.

His top three choices are Michigan, Alabama and Georgia. His decision is expected to be made on National Signing Day.
