Alabama Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

1.  LaBryan Ray, 5-star S-DE (Madison, AL)

LaBryan Ray is the final target to watch for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Ray is the 26th rated player in the country and first at strong-side defensive end.

At 6-foot-4, 264 pounds, Ray is probably the most important target for the Crimson Tide as National Signing Day approaches. They have two 4-star strong-side defensive ends already, but on paper, Ray blows them out the water.

With four defensive ends leaving due to graduation, there’s plenty of playing time to go around for Ray and company. He took an official visit to Alabama on January 20. Then the following week, the Crimson Tide visited Ray in his hometown of Madison.

Ray will take an official visit to Florida on January 27. He’s taken an official to Tennessee on January 13. But still, the Crimson Tide seem to be heavy favorites to earn Ray’s commitment.

The Alabama native recorded 124 total tackles, 25 tackles for loss and 13 sacks in his senior season. His teammate, Kryiq McDonald, signed with Alabama and enrolled in January.

While Ray is coming his decision mum, early predictions have Alabama acquiring him on National Signing Day. He would be the sixth 5-star prospect, according to 247 Sports.
