Alabama has done an outstanding job on the recruiting trail ever since Nick Saban took over the head coaching gig back in 2007. In the last 14 cycles, the Crimson Tide has signed an eye-popping 57 five-star recruits.
Now, some of them haven’t worked their way through the program yet. In fact, seven of those are either just getting to campus or will be in Tuscaloosa this summer to begin their college careers.
But what about the draft-eligible blue chip prospects? The five-star prospects who have spent a few years in the program? How have they fared after going through what people consider “The Process?” Well, you can find that out below.
Of the 57 guys, 43 of them are eligible to have their collegiate careers examined. Where did they end up going in their respective NFL draft classes? Find out by reading further. The hit rate is fairly shocking — or is it?
*Note: These are all five-star prospects, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. We did not include guys who were only rated as a five-star on one recruiting service.
