WR Justyn Ross

First-round comparison: Mike Williams, Clemson

The Williams we see now is obviously much more filled out and physical than Ross, but the body control, catch radius and speed are similar. Can Ross fill out as much as Williams did? Time will tell, but he could be the best big receiver in this class and do a lot of the things Williams did for Clemson.

–Nick Saban seriously cannot take a night off from recruiting. He used his appearance at the NFL Draft to make sure some recruits knew what going to Alabama meant. The head coach facetimed four-star wide receiver Joshua Moore while at the draft, according to Moore’s Twitter account. Moore attends IMG Academy and is the No. 13 wide receiver in this year’s class. He has an offer from Alabama.

Got the opportunity to see the NFL Draft live while on FaceTime with Coach Saban.. truly a blessing to be in this position.. #RTR??

-Alabama continues to make a push for the No. 1 player in Alabama- wide receiver Justyn Ross. Ross announced his top 11 schools on Twitter and Alabama was included. Ross is one of the biggest targets in the country, ranking No. 28 and commanding a five-star rating. He is also the No. 5 wide receiver in this year’s class. Alabama will have to compete with Auburn and Clemson, who have also recruited Ross heavily. Both schools made his top 11.

There were several impressive linebacker performers at last Saturday's Under Armour camp in Cincinnati, and one of the best was Lakota (OH) West's Xavier Peters. The ability to come forward and hit people has never been in question, but Peters showed the ability to drop his hips and change direction in coverage. He already holds an impressive offer list, and Peters talked about recent visits to Tennessee, Ohio State, Alabama, Kentucky and Cincinnati.

Harold Joiner

The state of Alabama continues to produce high-level football prospects and the number of blue-chips is expanding as the class of 2018 cycle rolls on. Mountain Brook (Ala.) High School standout Harold Joiner is the latest from the Yellowhammer State to add four stars in the rising senior class, bringing the total to an even dozen to this point.

Joiner is intriguing on many levels, beginning with his size. At The Opening Atlanta in late March, the new four-star measured in at 6-foot-4, 218 pounds, and was a testing standout with a 4.76-second 40-yard dash and near 38 inch vertical jump. All spring long, as he did when Scout was first introduced to Joiner last summer on the camp circuit, he was simply too fluid for linebackers or even safety prospects to handle in space with his speed, wingspan and route-running ability. Joiner also has consistent and soft hands, which combined with his running back ability, makes him a matchup nightmare in the passing game.

Could Joiner line up at running back at the next level? Sure, and he has plenty of top-end scholarship offers from programs which want him to do just that like the one currently on top for his services, LSU. But the entire skill set cannot be ignored with Joiner, who moves from a three-star running back to a four-star athlete, and a top 10 prospect that the position within the entire South region. Joiner's ceiling leans him more toward the next Evan Engram than Derrick Henry.

There is also considerable depth just behind that top group of prospects in the state as well, as evidenced by the prospects ascending to three stars in just the last week or so.

Kolbi Fuqua

A recent pledge to Auburn University, Cordova (Ala.) athlete Kolbi Fuqua is a jack of all trades at 6-foot-2, north of 200 pounds. He may be able to line up at wide receiver, defensive back or even linebacker at the next level. Fuqua now ranks among the top athletes in the state of Alabama.
