4-star WR Henry Ruggs

Class: 2017

High School: Lee (Montgomery, Alabama)

Size: 6'0", 173 lbs

Scout.com Ranking: No. 33 receiver

Recruitment Status: Offers include Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State and Georgia

Crimson Tide and Tigers coaches would love to land in-state sensation Henry Ruggs on national signing day because of his ability to alter games in a variety of ways. He did just that Friday night, racking up 260 total yards and two scores in a loss to Central High School, according to Cary L. Clark of Scout.com.

Ruggs collected seven receptions for 163 yards, extending his impact in the rushing attack. He operated as a Wildcat quarterback, carrying the ball seven times for 97 yards.

Each of his touchdowns demonstrated Ruggs' threat to score from anywhere on the field. He turned a short pass into a 59-yard touchdown while also delivering a 75-yard run off a quarterback draw.

This weekend is shaping up to be a big one for visitors to Alabama and Auburn.

No. 1 Alabama hosts No. 6 Texas A&M. No. 21 Auburn hosts No. 17 Arkansas.

It's worth diving into the importance of the visitors later in the week in case plans change, but here are some official ones.

Alabama is planning on hosting five-star running back Cam Akers of Clinton, Miss., five-star offensive tackle Foster Sarell of Graham, Wash., five-star linebacker Baron Browning of Kennedale, Texas, three-star tight end Major Tennison of Bullard, Texas and four-star safety Jaylen Kelly-Powell of Detroit, Mich., per 247Sports. Sarell (No. 2), Akers (No. 7) and Browning (No. 9) are top 10 prospects nationally.

Of those, Tennison figures to be the best commitment possibility this weekend.

Alabama linebacker commit VanDarius Cowan and defensive back commit Jhavonte Dean are also scheduled to officially visit.
