Get to know Bama's No. 1-ranked 2020 class (BamaOnLine)
quote:
Alabama wrapped up National Signing Day atop the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings for 2019. The Crimson Tide finished with 317.50 points, good for one of Nick Saban's all-time best signing classes.
With the Early Signing Period in its second year, we've seen the Tide take a more expedited approach on the recruiting trail in some areas, and that's evident in Alabama's 2020 class at the moment. Nick Saban and staff have accepted 10 commitments thus far in the cycle and we saw a flurry of offers go out in January as the staff hit the road and hosted a Junior Day.
Like the Tide's 2019 class, Alabama ranks No. 1 in the 2020 as well, with an average per/commit rating of 93.61 The Tide has already hit on several needs in the class, but with a little under 12 months to go until pen to paper, expect Bama to continue to push for all areas of need in the cycle.
Here, BOL takes a look at each of the Tide's 2020 commits. Player ratings are per the 247Sports Composite.

Commitment date: 11/19/18
Like 2019, the 2020 class is a good in-state year for the Tide with several commits already on the list that call Alabama home. Latham picked up an offer this fall and committed shortly thereafter. The Class 1A Lineman of the Year is firm with the Tide as it stands, but will continue taking visits elsewhere.

Height/Weight: 6-foot-4, 246 pounds
Player rating: No. 9 TE, No. 452 player
Commitment date: 7/31/18
Clark visited Tuscaloosa last summer for the Champions Cookout and didn't wait long to make his decision known, committing to the Tide publicly upon returning home from campus. The 3-star tight end from Ohio just helped his team to their fourth straight state championship, catching 30 passes for 650 yards and 11 touchdowns. Other schools like Michigan and Ohio State are going to stay after Clark, but he remains firm with the Tide after a visit for Junior Day late last month.

Height/Weight: 5-foot-10, 202 pounds
Player rating: No. 20 RB, No. 265 player
Commitment date: 11/24/18
Williams put up eye-popping numbers this fall, rushing for nearly 2,800 yards and 36 touchdowns on the year. The 4-star back chose the Tide over Auburn during a visit to Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl. The Tide signed the No. 1 running back in 2019 in Trey Sanders as well as held on to Keilan Robinson this past Wednesday. Adding Williams to the fold next cycle will assure elite rushers in Tuscaloosa for years to come.

Height/Weight: 6-foot-3, 215 pounds
Player rating: No. 4 ILB, No. 144 player
Commitment date: 3/24/18
Bratton may be the Pierce Quick of 2019 when all is said and done. The longtime UA pledge is the in-state leader of the class and has been actively working on others to join him at the Capstone. The 4-star 'backer is coming off an All-State junior season, totaling 155 tackles on the year. The in-state pledge is firm with his decision but will still take visits. He's been to Tennessee and Texas A&M the past few weeks. Bratton also attended Junior Day in Tuscaloosa last month.

Height/Weight: 6-foot-1, 175 pounds
Player rating: No. 13 CB, No. 139 player
Commitment date: 12/1/17
Morton is Alabama's longest-standing pledge, joining the class in December of 2017. The 4-star corner from Georgia has taken visits elsewhere, but has never shown any sort of indication as to reconsidering his decision to this point despite staff turnover. He's expected back on campus Feb. 16 for the Tide's second Junior Day.

Wide receiver is a big priority of Alabama's in 2020, especially since it only signed one pass catcher in the 2019 cycle. Baker has all the tools to be an excellent college wideout and Alabama took notice of that early. The Georgia native is another guy that says staff turnover won't affect his standing with the Tide.

Worsham is another electric wideout like Baker. Hewitt-Trussville has been very good to the Tide with both Pierce Quick and Paul Tyson opting for UA in the 2019 cycle and now Worsham and 4-star corner Malachi Moore in 2020. Another class leader that will help the Tide recruit this cycle.

Like Worsham, Moore is another top recruit out of the Huskies program to opt for Alabama. The 4-star cornerback is coming off an All-State year in Class 7A. He's been all Alabama since committing to the Tide last summer. The Top247 DB has also been an active leader of the class.

Jones, the top player in the state for the cycle, committed to Alabama last summer over Georgia and Mississippi State, among others. Jones is a very vocal leader of the class on Twitter. He plans to take official visits elsewhere, but is solid with the Tide.

Player rating: No. 1 WDE, No. 19 player
Commitment date: 11/25/18
Like Hewitt-Trussville, Alabama has turned to St. Frances Academy often in recent cycles, landing guys like 5-star edge rusher Eyabi Anoma in 2018 and signing 4-stars Shane Lee and Darrian Dalcourt this cycle. Braswell is the top edge rusher in the 2020 class and chose the Tide early on after visiting for the Iron Bowl. He's remained solid with his commitment despite his primary recruiter Mike Locksley leaving. The familiarity of former teammates in Tuscaloosa and new defensive line coach Brian Baker should help keep Braswell in the fold.
