Alabama Football: 3 early signees who’ll have instant impact in 2022

Alabama football has one of the best rosters in the country and just signed another top-three class. Who are some guys who could make an impact?

Nick Saban once again has Alabama football in the playoff and looking to repeat as national champions.

One of the reasons that Saban has been able to keep the Crimson Tide in the playoff hunt year after year despite lots of roster attrition is recruiting at the highest level. Alabama is going to have a top-three class yet again and if things go there between now and February, they could have the No. 1 class.

Like every year, Alabama is going to be losing some key players on both sides of the ball. Wide receiver Jameson Williams is likely to be a first-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, as is left tackle Evan Neal. Senior running back Brian Robinson will also be off to the pros as well.

On defense, Alabama will be returning the best defensive player in the country in Will Anderson but could be losing some key contributors on the defensive line and in the secondary. There are some young guys from previous recruiting classes that are ready to step up for Alabama, but some of the guys from this early signing period could be candidates to earn playing time.

It can be tough to crack the rotation at Alabama as a true freshman, but it is not impossible. Alabama has guys like Dallas Turner, JaCorey Brooks, Agiye Hall, and JoJo Earle that are getting to play because of their talent level. If you are talented enough to play, it does not matter how young you are if you are able to help the team out.

Here are the three early signees that could make an instant impact for Alabama next season.
