The Alabama Crimson Tide finished with the number one ranked recruiting class yet again. Here are their five biggest recruits after National Signing Day.

The Alabama Crimson Tide ruled the day once again on National Signing Day. It marked the seventh straight year the Crimson Tide took the crown for the number one ranked recruiting class based on 247Sports Composite Rankings.

The Crimson Tide signed 10 players on February 1, one five-star, eight four-stars and a three-star according to 247Sports. In addition,16 players enrolled early for Alabama. They signed four wide receivers, four offensive lineman and two tight ends in their 2017 recruiting class to revamp their offense.

Alabama will have one of the best running back tandems in the country next season with running backs Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris. With the departure of Cam Robinson, finding his replacement was one key need on the recruiting trail.

On defense, they hauled in four defensive lineman but only lost senior defensive end Jonathan Allen. As the Crimson Tide play a 3-4 defense, they rotate a lot of lineman in and out, so it’s key to have depth in loaded SEC Country. They will have experience on all fronts but as perfection is often Saban’s goal, there will be plenty of young players looking to put their brand on the game.
