I don't know. BOL seems to think there's a strong chance that he does.

Tim Settle is a 5-star defensive tackle who is difficult for blockers to handle when he plays with leverage. The Virginia native has heavy hands at the point of attack, and he works with a lot of physicality in the trenches.

Settle, who is 6'3" and 318 pounds, has good quickness to engage with guards in a hurry. He can grab blockers with strength, plus he rips with force and quickness. He can clog alleys thanks to his impressive anchor and has the surge to reach and pursue the ball.

Kawann Short of the Carolina Panthers is his NFL comparison.

From Alabama, 5-star defensive tackle Daron Payne is among the most powerful players in the country. He exhibits overwhelming strength at the point of attack, as evidenced by his ability to walk offensive linemen deep into the backfield.

The 6'2", 316-pounder has a good punch at the point of attack, and he plays with good leverage. Payne can anchor with ease versus running plays, but he also has the quickness to slip gaps and laterally pursue the ball.

His powerful playing style is reminiscent of Randy Starks of the Miami Dolphins.

Trent Thompson is a 5-star defensive tackle from Georgia who is a playmaker. He's always on the move in the trenches, as his quickness and burst are his top assets.

However, he also has impressive strength at 6'4" and 292 pounds. He can explode upfield at the snap to immediately threaten gaps. The Peach State native makes a lot of tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and he also has the closing ability to finish on quarterbacks.

Gerald McCoy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is Thompson's NFL comparison.

Payne and Settle coming to Bama is really all I want to finish this class. Anything else is icing on the cake.

Well yeah.

We should just take all the TEs in this class. Like the 2013 RB class.

I wouldn't be upset if we took 3 out of Hentges, Gragg, Clarington and Harris.

Me either. They could all play, as long as some of them know they probably wouldn't be three and out.

Glen St. Mary (Fla.) Baker County 5-star defensive end CeCe Jefferson visited Florida on Thursday. He posted a picture of himself with the Gators defensive line coach Brad Lawing outside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on his Twitter account.

Jefferson added the caption, "Chilling with probable future coach !" Ironically, Jefferson was wearing an Alabama shirt in the photo.

Bama has added preferred walkon kicker Gunnar Raborn from Lafayette (La.) St. Thomas More. The 5-foot-10, 180-pounder will join the Tide program according to The Daily Advertiser. Raborn was considered to be among the better kickers in the state of Louisiana in 2013 and will add another option to the Tide's specialists unit that lacks experience heading into this season after the graduation of both starting specialists. Raborn visited Tuscaloosa in February, according to the Advertiser's report.

As a senior at St. Thomas More, Raborn hit 7-9 field goals with a long of 47 in addition to handling punting duties. The Tide also signed top punter/kicker J.K. Scott from Colorado.

Cece Jefferson reminds me of Matt Elam with his recruitment. Makes it seem like he's going to multiple schools and eventually sides with the home team. Florida has a good DL historically and it's the home team and they are in the SEC, can't really fault him if he decides to go there. However there is a long time until December at the earliest.
