Alabama put a new offer out on Friday to four-star outside linebacker Kevin Harris.
The Loganville (Ga.) Grayson product adds the tender to a list that includes Auburn and Clemson, among two dozen others.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder is rated the No. 9 outside linebacker and the No. 134 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings.
Clemson currently leads the Crystal Ball over Georgia.

New offer out to a kid from Kentucky. He's ranked as an Athlete, but Steve Wiltfong called him a WR.
Milton Wright Highlights

His coach told me Nick Saban offered yesterday.
“They had a good talk over the phone.”
We rank Wright higher than the Composite does. Top50 recruit. Dynamic, very athletic, helped lead his team to a state title as a junior.
Ohio State was out in front here but recent Georgia and now Alabama offers are very intriguing.

Nation's #1 DT on why he could see himself in Tide's class (BamaOnLine-VIP)
5* DT Ishmael Sopsher 6-5/279 Amite, LA hudl
Sopsher's top-12 released last fall that didn't include Bama is history. When asked if Bama is one of his top teams now, he replied, "Yes, sir."
Why? "They have great coaches, they’re known to send and prepare defensive linemen to the NFL, and just the way they’re like a family up there, and just the way they play football.”
Sopsher is from the same town and school (Amite, LA) as Devonta Smith and Shyheim Carter. Coach Golding, his primary recruiter, is from that area too. Sopsher likes him a lot and they're working on plans for him to visit soon.

Look: New Tide CB recruiting 5-star UGA commit (BamaOnLine)
Note: Bama is recruiting Smith as an OLB.

Early enrollee cornerback Saivion Smith is back in his home state of Florida for the weekend and used the opportunity to do a little recruiting for Alabama.
On Saturday at the the IMG NFA 7on7 Southeast Regional, Smith was in the ear of five-star defensive end and Georgia commit Nolan Smith, who wasn't wearing a Georgia shade of red.

#Alabama CB @Saivion_1k talking up #CrimsonTide to #ESPNJr300 & #UGA verbal @SmithNoland2 at #NFA7on7 Southeast Regional, @IMGAcademy. For those that enjoy overreacting to what prospects are wearing, here you go -- 12:16 PM · Mar 10, 2018
Smith, a product of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., is a top Alabama target and recently travelled to Tuscaloosa for the Tide's Junior Day.
“The coaches, really,” he said of what keeps him coming back to visit Bama. “That’s what drives the program. Coach Tosh got the D-coordinator spot. It’s real good for me to go back there and talk to him. He’s also my position coach. It’s great to just talk with him and sit down with him and just be around him.”
The Bulldogs commit said "you could say" that the Tide would be the team to beat should he reopen his recruitment.
At 6-foot-3, 232 pounds, Smith is rated the No. 3 weak-side defensive end and the No. 5 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings.
Note: Bama is recruiting Smith as an OLB.

Three of the top five players in the country are weak side defensive ends? Interesting.

Here is a short little twitter video of Jordan Davis working out. That rigged up system makes me nervous.

Yeah, me too. Maybe one of the workout guys will step in to correct me, but that doesn't look like a designed use for that piece of equipment.

Derek Stingley Jr. (#1 CB - Rivals)
Early contenders: LSU, Alabama, Stanford, Texas, Notre Dame, Clemson, among others.
Breakdown: The nation’s No. 1 cornerback is obviously a hot commodity on the recruiting trail and the one-time LSU commit is of major importance to the hometown Tigers. Many believe the battle for his signature will come down to an LSU-Alabama showdown, and so far those programs seem to be in pretty good position. However, Texas also likes its chances as a dark horse and Stanford offers unmatched academic opportunities in addition to football, something that appeals to Stingley and his family.

Chris Steele (#2 CB - Rivals)
Early contenders: USC, Texas A&M, Oregon, UCLA, Oklahoma, Miami, among others.
Breakdown: The one-time UCLA commit has been pretty open since backing off his pledge to the Bruins, taking several visits with many more on his schedule. A trip to Texas A&M put the Aggies solidly in the mix and Miami has quietly been building a relationship with Steele behind the scenes. But this battle could come down to USC vs. Oregon. Steele hasn’t been shy in his praise of Oregon assistant coach Donte Williams and the Trojans have been working on him for quite some time. Expect his recruitment to take several twists and turns, especially if he’s serious about exploring options outside the West Coast.

Akeem Dent (#3 CB - Rivals)
Early contenders: Florida State (committed), Florida, Miami, Alabama, LSU, Clemson, among others.
Breakdown: Dent’s recruitment has already had several notable moments, first a commitment to Miami followed by a decommitment and then a commitment to Florida State followed by a Seminoles coaching change. Now word is Dent is considering several other programs while he continues to feel out the new staff in Tallahassee. He recently took a visit to Miami and is working on setting up several other trips, with Alabama, LSU and Clemson likely to come by the end of the summer. Could he make another commitment or two before signing day? Anything is possible heading into the spring.

Erick Young (#4 CB - Rivals)
Early contenders: Texas A&M, LSU, Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Alabama, among others.
Breakdown: Young recently trimmed his list to 10 and even hinted at a top five, saying that Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma are schools that are expected to make his next cut. He recently visited both the Longhorns and the Sooners and came away raving about each trip. All signs point to a battle between the Red River rivals and the Aggies, especially considering his visit patterns during his recruitment. But USC and LSU are both working to get him on campus for official visits and truly enter his top group so it will be interesting to watch how things shake out.

quote:
Andrew Booth (#5 CB - Rivals)
Early contenders: Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Duke, Florida State, South Carolina, among others.
Breakdown: Booth’s stock is sky high, with several new programs entering the mix over the past few months. He’s wasted no time taking visits to several programs, with recent trips to South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida State, Alabama, Georgia and Clemson all under his belt in 2018. Right now it appears Booth’s recruitment is shaping up to be an ACC battle, with Clemson and Florida State out to good starts in their pursuit. But the Gamecocks have done a great job recruiting defensive backs in Atlanta and can’t be counted out. Neither can the Tide or several other SEC programs.
