Alabama’s 2022 early enrollees include nine top 100 recruits

The season has come to an end and it is time to start shifting our focus to the team that will take the field in 2022.

Nick Saban and his staff had a fantastic early signing period back in December, and several of those prospects have already enrolled at the university.

Among those that have enrolled early, nine of the twelve are top 100 recruits according to the On3 consensus rankings.

Below is the complete list of early enrollees and their On3 consensus rankings.

SIGNED: 5-Star LB Jeremiah Alexander signs on with Alabama

Alabama earns another 5-star in LB Jeremiah Alexander.

The Crimson Tide have added another five-star recruit, and this time it is Jeremiah Alexander, a 6-foot-2, 235 pound outside linebacker/EDGE from Alabaster, Alabama.

Alexander is another product of Thompson high school, which has churned out elite talent after elite talent.

His recruitment has long been shutdown. Alexander verbally committed to the Crimson Tide back in early July of 2021. By signing with Alabama, he turns down offers from Georgia, Clemson, USC and Oklahoma among others.

Alabama’s top commits for the class of 2022

Let’s take a look at a few of Alabama’s top commits for the class of 2022.

With early signing day coming up tomorrow, I thought it was a good time to take a look at the current commitment lists and highlight some of the key additions Nick and Alabama will be making to its squad.

We will look at a handful of players from each side of the ball that I believe will be key contributors for the Tide down the road.

I also believe that all the players we will be looking at today are really solid to the Crimson Tide and will sign tomorrow.

Let’s roll!

Offensive players

  1. Ty Simpson, QB, 6’1″, 200, Martin, TN
  2. Emmanuel Henderson, RB, 6’1″, 185, Hatford, AL
  3. Kobe Prentice, WR, 5’10”, 175, Calera, AL

Defensive players

  1. Jeremiah Alexander, EDGE, 6’2″, 235, Alabaster, AL
  2. Shawn Murphy, LB, 6’3″, 211, Manasses, VA
  3. Jaheim Oatis, DL, 6’5″, 388, Columbia, MS

Now, I am clearly excited about the entire class of 2022, but these six players are really special and have a chance to make a significant impact in Tuscaloosa.

Since Brent Venables departed for Oklahoma on Sunday, all three of Clemson’s IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) commits have decomitted, including four-star defensive end Jihaad Campbell and four-star cornerback Daylen Everette.

Judging by social media, it appears that the former Clemson commit(s) are on respective visits to the University of Alabama this weekend.

Campbell was spotted dining with Alabama head coach Nick Saban and Thompson (Alabaster, Ala.) 2022 five-star edge rusher Jeremiah Alexander — an Alabama commit — who snapped the photo of the trio and posted it on Twitter.

As for Everette, he appeared to arrive in Tuscaloosa late Friday night.

Both Campbell and Everette took in their official visits just three weeks ago and appeared to be locked in for before making the surprise move(s) to decommit late this week.

As recruiting for the high school football class of 2022 ramps up, more and more NCAA schools are seeing who may be its superstars of the future. And with the early signing period nearing and national singing day on the horizon, the intrigue and conversations will expectedly increase.

So to keep updated on the latest, we’re taking a look at the top recruits in each of the Power 5 conferences, according to the USA TODAY High School Sports Composite Player Rankings, which averages the grades from the three biggest recruiting services: 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals. 

First up is the SEC, a conference absolutely loaded with talent from the class, boasting 10 five-star prospects and 73 four-star players as of Nov. 3.

Here’s a look at the top-10 ranked players…

Breaking: Alabama lands elite, five-star pass rusher

Nick Saban has Alabama ROLLING on the recruiting trail!

Alabama has landed yet another elite pass-rushing prospect. On Thursday afternoon, in-state edge player Jeremiah Alexander from Thompson High School made his pledge to the Crimson Tide.

The 6-foot-2, 235-pound defender had narrowed his list of possible schools down to Clemson, Georgia, UCF and Alabama, but Nick Saban and company came out on top for the state’s No. 1 prospect.

That decision was officially made public via social media, and now it’s time to see where the Crimson Tide will land in the updated recruiting rankings after Alexander’s commitment. Check out the announcement from Hayes Fawcett:

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Alexander is rated as the nation’s No. 16 overall prospect, No. 1 edge player and No. 1 player from the state of Alabama.

He becomes the fourth commitment for the program since June 6, joining four-star running back Le’veon Moss and two athletes, three-star Amari Niblack and four-star Antonio Kite. Alexander’s pledge also makes the commitment No. 10 for the Crimson Tide.

Prior to the news, Alabama was sitting with the No. 15 class (No. 5 in the SEC), but it’s possible — likely even — that they find themselves with a top-10 class in the near future.

It’s incredible to think about all the talented edge players Alabama has added in it’s last three recruiting classes. Just check it out for yourself:

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top six schools for five-star defensive end recruit Jeremiah Alexander. The elite prospect puts Georgia, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Alabama, and Tennessee in his top six schools.

Jeremiah Alexander is rated as the No. 12 player in the class of 2022. The former Alabama Crimson Tide commitment is the top player in the state of Alabama and the best defensive end in his class.

The five-star plays high school football for Thompson High School in Alabaster, Alabama. He’s six-foot-two and weighs 235 pounds. He won a state championship this past season in dramatic fashion.

The Thompson defensive end is quick off the line of scrimmage and has the speed to chase down most quarterbacks. He’s versatile and can line up as a middle linebacker. Additionally, Alexander has impressive power and is a solid bull rusher despite having a smaller frame. The five-star is already very strong and should be able to player right away in the SEC.

The four-star weakside defensive end, who is currently rated as the top player from the state of Alabama in the 2022 class, made the announcement via his Twitter account:

Alabama already added an impressive group of edge players, including William Anderson, Chris Braswell, Drew Sanders and Quandarrius Robinson, in its 2020 recruiting class.
