3. ALABAMA

Vandarius Cowan and Dylan Moses

The skinny: The Crimson Tide further strengthened their outside linebacker group by landing Moses and Cowan. Pulling Moses away from LSU was another important Alabama recruiting victory, while Cowan’s arrival from South Florida solidifies the Tide’s standing in the Dade/Broward/Palm Beach area. It’s tough for true freshmen to gain playing time in Tuscaloosa, but both will surely get a long look.

Farrell’s take: Both are physically ready to play early for Alabama. Moses could play outside or inside. Cowan has had some off-field struggles, so maturity could take time, but he has the size and skill to dominate while Moses is an athletic freak whose ceiling is high at a position he’s still learning.
