Another crown jewel from the state of Alabama in 2016 is Davis, whom the Crimson Tide already have a leg up with due to a family connection.
Ben is the son of Wayne Davis, a former Alabama linebacker who holds Alabama’s all-time tackles record. He clearly hopes his son follows in his footsteps.
"When it comes down to it, I'm going to be pushing my son to go to Alabama," Davis told AL.com’s John Talty. "He's going to make that decision with his own heart."
That doesn’t make his recruitment a done deal at all.
Davis went with Wilson to visit LSU before camping in Tuscaloosa, snapping a picture with head coach Les Miles in the process. He’s also hearing from an impressive list of schools, so every chance Alabama has to get him to Tuscaloosa and remind him of his family’s legacy is big.

Willie Allen, 5-star offensive tackle from New Orleans, Louisiana
No. 22 player overall, No. 3 offensive tackle, No. 4 from Louisiana
It’s safe to say Alabama’s first opportunity to start a freshman from Louisiana at tackle was a success. It may have a chance to do that again.
The Crimson Tide have signed an impressive crop of offensive linemen but still lack a bookend tackle for Cam Robinson, especially after 2015-16, when Dominick Jackson graduates.
Allen would be the kind of slam-dunk lineman offensive line coach Mario Cristobal could plug in right away.
Like Lawrence, though, it won’t be easy to pull Allen out of Louisiana. Also like Lawrence, he attended both LSU and Alabama camps this weekend, per Dixon.
The early returns from Tuscaloosa, though, at least on Twitter, were promising.
