Alabama among top seven for 2023’s No. 2 safety from Massachusetts

Alabama makes the top seven for a top 20 prospect.

The Alabama Crimson Tide got some good news recently. The No. 2 safety in the country, Joenel Aguero released his top seven schools on Twitter. Nick Saban and Alabama were among the top schools.

Aguero has SEC schools Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Texas A&M among his final schools along with the Crimson Tide. He plays both sides of the ball for St. John’s Prep, but Aguero projects best on the defensive side at safety.

Aguero can be a swiss army knife for the defense with his position flexibility. He can play down in the box or can drop back to play single-high coverage safety as well. Aguero could eventually develop inside a nickel cornerback with some refinement on his footwork.

As a receiver, he clearly has the ball skills to make an impact with turnovers in the passing game. Currently projected to the Bulldogs, Alabama could use him as well. Aguero is one of 11 safeties to receive an offer from the Tide staff.

LSU among top seven for 2023 WR Johntay Cook

Another top seven has LSU in the mix.

If you are looking for a game-breaker at wide receiver in the 2023 recruiting class then this would be the prospect for you. On Tuesday Johntay Cook II of DeSoto released his top seven schools. Among the SEC teams are LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M. He also has Texas among the top schools for his recruitment.

Cook is viewed as one of the top players at his position according to 247Sports composite rankings. He can show off his track speed when he gets into the open. This past season he hauled in 19 touchdown passes after snagging 10 the season before. cook averaged 21.2 yards per reception in 2021.

Cook should be one of their priorities for the 2023 class that holds just one commitment at this point. Having a five-star quarterback with Walker Howard should help the team.

2023 Five-star CB Tony Mitchell includes Alabama in top seven schools

The five-star cornerback is down to seven schools.

Alabama has quite the in-state talent at its disposal in the 2023 class. Seven players rank inside of the top 100 with four five-stars. Battling Auburn, Georgia, and even Clemson for their signatures with be difficult.

Cornerback Tony Mitchell out of Thompson High School is the top-ranked prospect within the state. Alabama was the sixth program to offer the five-star, seeing the potential in him back in July 2019.

On Monday, Mitchell released his top seven schools, including the Crimson Tide. Clemson, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Oregon, and Texas A&M also made the list. Florida State, Miami, and Ohio State were cut from his top 10.

Auburn was not added after being cut in August despite receiving a visit this summer.

Mitchell has taken three unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa alongside Junior Day before the pandemic began according to 247Sports. Defensive line coach Freddie Roach has been the lead recruiter for the cornerback.

As things stand, Alabama has no commitments in the 2023 class. They already lead for some of the top prospects, including Mitchell. Three crystal ball predictions were flipped from Tennessee to the Crimson Tide after a March 7, 2020 visit to campus.

On the 247Sports composite, Mitchell is the No. 1 player in the state of Alabama and No. 11 on the national scale. At the cornerback position, the two-time state champion ranks at No. 2.

Five-star cornerback AJ Harris includes Alabama in top seven, announces commitment date

One of the best in-state 2023 prospects is cornerback AJ Harris. He announced his top seven schools and commitment date on Tuesday evening.

Alabama has quite the in-state class to recruit from within the 2023 cycle. As things stand on the 247Sports composite, there are four five-star players and seven total within the top 100 overall.

One of the best is AJ Harris. Coming out of Phenix City, the five-star cornerback is the No. 2 player in the state, just behind fellow cornerback Tony Mitchell.

Harris released his top-seven schools on Tuesday evening, including Alabama on the list. Clemson, Georgia, LSU, North Carolina, Notre Dame, and Ohio State made the cut as well.

To go along with a top school list, Harris announced he will be making his commitment on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2022, the day after the national championship.

Alabama and safeties coach Charles Kelly offered Harris on March 30. Of the schools remaining in the top seven, North Carolina was the last to offer.

Harris has taken unofficial visits to Clemson and Ohio State per 247Sports. The five-star cornerback also posted pictures with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly on Twitter back in late June.

With so much talent within the state, the Crimson Tide is bound to lose at least one or two to another national program. However, somebody like Harris, especially as a defensive back, needs to end up in Tuscaloosa.

Kelly and Nick Saban have four months to win another recruitment.
