Alabama Football: Top 3 targets for 2020 National Signing Day

Alabama football is the cream of the nation’s recruiting crop and it has Nick Saban to thank for that. Who could join the Tide’s 2020 class?

Nick Saban has set the standard for recruiting in the college football landscape and the 2020 class is no different. The Crimson Tide have the No. 2 class in the nation which is also second in the SEC but there’s a chance to get to that top spot with a solid National Signing Day haul.

The Crimson Tide have 26 players already committed or signed but they usually take in larger classes to make up for the numerous players who leave a year early for the NFL.

Alabama has a number of elite players left on its recruiting board and there’s a good chance the Tide could make it a clean sweep.

Who tops Alabama’s recruiting board for National Signing Day?

The backstory for Nadab Joseph is an interesting one.

The four-star is the third-best JUCO prospect in the nation and the No. 1 cornerback at that level as well, according to 247Sports. He’s spent the last two seasons at Independence C.C. which was a surprise given the fact that he was a top-100 prospect out of high school in the 2018 class.

Joseph was committed to Alabama at one point and then flipped to Georgia. He went the JUCO route and the Miami-native now looks like one of the nation’s top prospects.

No surprise here, though, as the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are the two teams in the running for the four-star JUCO product.

The 6-2, 193-pound cornerback has great size, speed and lockdown skills which could make him the next great defensive back in Tuscaloosa.
