Alabama now holds No. 1 class in On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings

After the latest player ranking updates from other services, Alabama now holds the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Team Rankings.

The Crimson Tide jumped ahead of previous No. 1 Ohio State, in large part due to big jumps from quarterback Keelon Russell, newly minted five-star offensive lineman Michael Carroll and high four-star offensive tackle Jackson Lloyd.

In total, Alabama has five five-star commitments in the cycle, headlined by Russell, offensive tackle Ty Haywood, Carroll, wide receiver Caleb Cunningham and cornerback Dijon Lee. In addition, they have five other top-100 commitments and 17 blue-chip pledges in total of their 22-member class.

Alabama previously held the No. 1 spot this summer after landing Haywood, but was eventually eclipsed by the Buckeyes.

However, the two teams have been neck-and-neck since then, with the Tide now taking a slight team recruiting score lead (93.983) a little less than two months from National Signing Day.
