Good morning, Tide fans! Welcome to our Friday edition of Alabama Morning Drive. I hope each of you has had a good week as dive into the weekend.
July has become commitment month for a majority of the nation’s top prospects in the class of 2023. The next man up is four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Olaus Alinen [/autotag] who will make his commitment a little later this morning around 8:00 a.m. CT. You can stream Alinen’s commitment on CBS Sports HQ.
Alinen is originally from Finland but has played his high school ball in the state of Connecticut. Alinen is a consensus four-star prospect and has narrowed his list of schools down to Alabama, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, and Oregon.
It appears that Alabama and Miami have pulled away from the rest of the pack and over the last few days all the momentum has shifted towards [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Crimson Tide. On3’s RPM has Alabama with an 80.7% chance of landing the talented tackle prospect.
Let’s take a look at a few other stories to follow this morning!
