We’re coming down the home stretch in the recruiting process for four-star Brookwood, Alabama, defensive lineman [autotag]William Sanders[/autotag].

Sanders is down to three finalists — LSU, Alabama and Mississippi State — and he’s set to make his decision on July 21. Sanders ranks as the No. 21 player in Alabama and the No. 397 overall prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite.

The Tigers likely have a lot of ground to make up here. The Crimson Tide are the heavy favorite for the in-state prospect, and they’ve received a pair of Crystal Ball projections from 247Sports while also sitting at 54% on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

The Tigers will hope they can beat out Nick Saban for a prospect in his own backyard. LSU’s 2024 class currently sits at 18 commits and ranks No. 13 nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite.
