Ben Davis, the son of all-time Crimson Tide tackles leader Wayne Davis, is more physically evolved than many of his contemporaries at linebacker. Standing 6'3", 240 pounds, the playmaker actually blended in with defensive ends at The Opening, an annual summer prospect showcase held in Oregon.

Pass-rushing is an element of his game that stands to improve most and you can expect Davis to surpass his junior season sack total (four) this fall. More effectiveness in that department would make him a candidate to wreak havoc off the edge as a true freshman next year.

His senior season started with a well-rounded effort. Davis tallied eight tackles in a win for Gordo High School (Alabama), adding a touchdown reception in the process. Alabama is viewed as a heavy favorite to land the legacy target, but Auburn, LSU and Florida State are among other teams in the mix.

The young man they call "Mack" continues to make improvements. Now in his third year at linebacker, the 6'2", 220-pound athlete looks confident from sideline-to-sideline, developing plenty of good defensive habits.

Lyndell Wilson's role as a leader for Carver High School (Alabama) augments an impressive skill set that allows him to stifle offensive strategies on the ground and through the air. He has the physical and mental makeup to evolve into an eventual captain for his college squad, though that ultimate destination may mot be determined until national signing day.

"Schools saw I had the ability, and I improved my game. I put it in my head that I was going to try to have every offer in the United States. And now here I am with a lot of decisions," he told Ethan Bernal of the Montgomery Advertiser.

Long viewed as the front-runner for his signature, Alabama must contend with Auburn, Louisville, LSU and others.
