Daxton Hill, 5-star S (OK)
Hill is one of Alabama’s biggest priorities on defense. The five-star safety from Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington is the younger brother of standout Oklahoma State running back Justice Hill, but that doesn’t guarantee him to be a Cowboys lean.
“I liked it a lot,” Hill told BOL recently of his first visit to Tuscaloosa for A-Day. “Just how the campus looked and everything and just the way I felt about it and the vibes I got from the people and coaches. I talked to most of the coaches about how they run things down there. I enjoyed everything about it.”
It’s Oklahoma that’s actually trending on the 247Sports Crystal Ball for the nation’s No. 1 safety, but Hill is certainly giving the Tide a serious look. Nick Saban called the Sooner State product from the NFL Draft last month.
“Really just the people they put into the league,” Hill said of why he could see himself committing to Alabama. “Just talking with them and seeing how they really enjoy the way I play.
"They said I’m the No. 1 guy they’re trying to get after DB-wise. And just how great they’ve been playing over these last couple years. Hearing that from them, knowing I could come in and dominate, it would be great.”

Faatui Tuitele, 5-star DT (HI)
Tuitele has a special connection to the Crimson Tide in that he’s a distant cousin and former teammate of Tua Tagovailoa. The Honolulu (Hawaii) St. Louis product made his first visit out to Tuscaloosa last month and spent time with the Tagovailoa family.
“It was a huge leap of faith coming out here almost 5,000 miles from Hawaii,” Tua’s father, Galu Tagovailoa, said of their experience leaving Hawaii for Alabama. “They understood that and I think it’s a lot easier for them if they do decide to make Alabama as their home because they have family here; we’re here. We can make things easier for them.
"They’re the same kind of family as us. They’re all about church, they’re about what’s best for their kids. They’re very, very good people and a good family. Not just Alabama, but whoever gets this kid is getting someone special. I think Alabama has a good chance just like every other school they’re looking at.”
The five-star defensive tackle is planning to narrow his list to five soon. I would be shocked if the Tide was not on that list.
