National Signing Day has come and gone, and Alabama’s 2020 recruiting class is officially set. There were 25 total members (26, if you count North Carolina grad transfer tight end Carl Tucker) with talent across the board.
In order for fans to get to know the Crimson Tide’s newest players, we have laid out a “get to know them” article for each member.
Next man up is four-star outside linebacker Quandarrius Robinson out of Jackson-Olin High School in Birmingham.

Where does he fit in? Robinson is going to be a fun piece to add to Alabama’s defense starting in 2020. At 6-foot-5, he possesses tremendous length to go with explosive burst and bend potential off the edge.
After starting his high school career as a safety, the Jackson-Olin standout continued to grow and work his way into an edge role as a senior. That experience in the secondary should help Robinson when dropping into coverage, something that will be asked of him in Alabama’s defense.
There is an abundance of edge players in the Crimson Tide’s 2020 recruiting class, including Chris Braswell, Drew Sanders, Will Anderson, to go along with Robinson.
When you combine that with two high potential players from the 2019 class, Kevin Harris II and King Mwikuta, and a few veterans like Jarez Parks and Ben Davis, it’ll be interesting to see who earns playing time opposite Christopher Allen with Anfernee Jennings and Terrell Lewis heading to the NFL.
