Athlon Sports listed their top 50 players for the 2020 college football season, and unsurprising to many, there’s a hefty Alabama presence.
The Crimson Tide, who are set to begin the season ranked No. 2 in the nation, according to the preseason AP poll, are no strangers to having a star studded roster that makes national headlines.
However, as Nick Saban and Co. enter their first season with a quarterback not named Tua Tagovailoa or Jalen hurts in the last four years, many are interested which players remain that can garner a lot of attention.
Alabama has the most amount of players on the list with six. Here’s where they rank:
30. Jaylen Waddle, WR
Jaylen Waddle is one of two wide receivers remaining from Alabama’s elite squad of wide receivers – the two that entered the NFL draft were the first two receivers selected in the first round. Waddle is expected to also be a first round pick, but more importantly, is expected to be a leader on the 2020 Crimson Tide offense.
20. Patrick Surtain, CB
In 2019 Surtain recorded 42 tackles and two interceptions. He is also a member of this Alabama team that is a potential first-round pick. Surtain will be a name to watch throughout the season as a leader in the Alabama secondary.
