Alabama Lands 4-Star WR Thaiu Jones-Bell Over Tennessee
By Adam Godfrey
The Alabama Crimson Tide football program is arguably one of, if not the most prestigious programs in recent memory. They have consistently been a top team in College Football, and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.
Alabama currently has the second nationally-ranked recruiting class for 2020, only behind the Clemson Tigers.
On Monday, they added to their class, with the commitment of 4-star wide receiver Thaiu Jones-Bell.

Jones-Bell chose the Crimson Tide over the Tennessee Volunteers to play his college football in Alabama under Coach Saban. He is the 90th ranked player in ESPN's 2020 recruiting class, and 12th ranked wide receiver in the class.
He played his high school football in Florida, attending Carol City High School in Miami. Jones-Bell received offers from 19 division one schools, including four from his home state.
Enough Said.

If a young player aims on making it to the NFL, and they're fortunate enough to be able to attend Alabama, it is almost a sure thing for them to be at least considered by a pro team when their college days are over. The University currently has over 30 alumni in the NFL, and had 10 players selected in the 2019 NFL Draft.
