1. 5-star OLB Lyndell Wilson

Height/Weight: 6'2", 220 pounds

High School: Carver High School; Montgomery, Alabama

247Sports Ranking: No. 1 outside linebacker; No. 10 overall

Bleacher Report Score: 92/100

Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State and Georgia

Atop the list of prospects from the state of Alabama in the 2016 class is 5-star linebacker Lyndell Wilson. While he has offers from programs all over the country, most pundits expect in-state rivals Alabama and Auburn to battle it out for Wilson. In addition to those programs, Florida State and LSU are two schools trying to lure Wilson away from his home state.

Bleacher Report Analysis

When I spoke to Wilson at the Atlanta Nike Opening Regional camp, he told me he patterns his game after former Alabama All-American C.J. Mosley. Wilson's game has some similarities to the current Ravens star. He's physical enough to be stout against the run and he has the agility to cover running backs in the flats or receivers in the middle of the field. With his size and speed, Wilson is a player who has the potential to be dominant at multiple spots in college.
