There appears to be nothing 5-star linebacker Malik Jefferson is not capable of. The Texas native is an exceptional athlete who is a nightmare for offenses.
Jefferson has great vision and instincts, as he anticipates plays like a college player. He does a good job of reading the movements of guards and tackles, then he explodes to make a play.
The 6'2", 225-pounder has the speed and range to track running backs from one sideline to the other. He doesn't back down from offensive linemen and lead-blockers at the point of attack, plus he uses his hands well when striking and shedding.
Jefferson also has the first-step explosiveness to play rush-end/outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. He can rush the passer with speed, and he also has the strength to fight blockers while pressuring the passer.
Once he gets better in coverage, Jefferson will be a complete player.
We are in Jefferson's Top 2, but I believe he will sign with A&M.

TJ Yeldon
Position: Running back
Pro comparison: Darren McFadden
While you probably won't see T.J. Yeldon operating out of a version of the Wildcat offense at Alabama, that doesn't mean he couldn't do it. But what makes him like former Arkansas star Darren McFadden is how his style of running compares to what McFadden has done in the NFL.
Both runners are fast yet powerful and can break a tackle as easily as they can outrun a defender. Yeldon hasn't shown his true potential yet in college because there hasn't been a need. But in big games, he has stepped it up a notch, much like McFadden did at Arkansas.
