Who will be the biggest star before they leave?

Minka Fitzpatrick
Damien Harris
Ronnie Harrison
Daron Payne
Calvin Ridley


For me so far it has been Minka Fitzpatrick, but if Ridley continues to improve, with him being on offense and Bama having 2 top notch receivers in the NFL right now, I think he'll be the big star in 3 years.

Daron Payne...I don't even know why Harris is on the list lol. Bo impressed me more with his two runs. The way he jumped he reminded me of LF with how big he is and the way he moved

Payne. Most expected Harris, Ridley and Fitz to contribute early.


Ridley will be a superstar before he leaves.

Did you see who was returning kickoffs the entire game?

Fitzpatrick. Hardest position to transition too out of HS. Making the biggest impact.

Honestly no I didn't notice him. I thought he got the kickoff by cause it was short. Maybe good at kickoffs but haven't seen anything running the ball. Pretty sure he will be good with some experience though.

Its strange because i expected Harris to be the most impressive coming into the season but so far he has been the least impressive.

Yeah Fitzpatrick, but Ridley has been huge too. Humphrey has held his own too, but Daron Payne has been a force up front.

So many freshman to choose from. 'Bama problems

Right now, I'd say Fitzpatrick and Ridley...wouldn't surprise me if Harrison turns out to be up there with the best of 'em before it's all said and done though...he's a ball hawk and appears to have great instincts on the field...

Minkah. We needed his good play more than anything this season. I like how good Payne has performed this season, it was good added depth.

When this guy can come in and play a big part of the D Line that we had returning, then he truly is special.....

Fitzpatrick, and it's not really that close. His impact has been huge, and that's hard to do at his safety as a freshman.

Fitzpatrick, with Payne a close second. If Ridley can continue to be a beast like he was Saturday, he might move up.

Harrison and Harris have both shown flashes of potential. Harris got Bama the best field position on kickoffs that they've had all year.

Minkah, Calvin, and Daron will be 1st-Team AA's before they leave.

Ronnie will be All-SEC and could also end up being an AA Safety as his role increases.

Just give Damien time, I think he will be just fine, and there is a QB waiting in the wings that I think will also turn a few heads as well...

I just thought Harris would be a bit bigger. But to his defense, he's a freshman and the 2nd string oline has been wildly inconsistent.
