3 Ways Alabama Could Win First Day of Early Signing Period
By Mark Powell
Alabama is always active in the Early Signing Period, and Wednesday will be no exception. Expect Nick Saban to be on the phone early and often, with Alabama's presence as a major factor in potentially flipping some top commits away from their competition. The 2020 class could pay major dividends in Tuscaloosa.
3. Steal Jordan Burch From Clemson
Burch is an absolute stud, and a 5-star linebacker from Columbia, SC. Clemson leads the pack for Burch's services, but the race is still wide open with Alabama in the mix. Securing Burch's commitment would go a long way towards changing the tide in Saban's rivalry with Dabo Swinney.
2. Snag Phillip Webb From LSU
Webb seems a sure bet to go to LSU and join forces with Ed Orgeron, but his last visit was to Alabama on Dec. 6. 247sports marks Alabama as 'warmer' for Webb's services, proving they might've made a late impression. We'll see if it makes a difference, but Webb is a stud at LB.
1. Land McKinnley Jackson
Jackson's recruitment is wide open, with LSU leading the pack for the 4-star DT per 247sports. Yet, Alabama has made an impact on Jackson and there's a chance he could choose Saban over Orgeron, providing another blow to ther SEC rivals.
