The Alabama coaching staff is picking up steam on the 2023 and 2024 recruiting trails. On Saturday, 2024 defensive back Desmond Ricks released his top-ten schools, Alabama being one of them. The other schools listed were Jackson State, LSU, Oregon, Miami, Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma, Florida, and Texas A&M.
Ricks is a native of Chesapeake, Virginia but plays at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Trey Sanders, Evan Neal, Stephon Wynn Jr., Tyler Booker and Ja’Corey Brooks were all IMG products before joining the Crimson Tide.
Ricks has been a priority target for the Tide ever since receiving an offer in September of 2021. On3’s RPM favors Alabama at 43.5% likelihood to land the stellar defensive back.
