Recently, Khalil McKenzie...
Under current regime, JJ Peterson. Maybe Darnell Wright*

How was BJ Scott a bust? He flipped the field more than any busted plays and its not close.
Note: Bamas best punter of all time was Greg Gantt but he is also forever in all the " punt Bama punt" photos.

He was a 5* at one point but he dropped big in ratings I think by NSD. The rest of those guys were consensus 5*

Positive note on character, Ben Davis never quit. I commend him for that.

LSU = Cecil Collins comes to mind
What’s the name of the Bama d-line kid from a few years ago? Alonso maybe, he was supposed to be all world and I’m not sure what happened to him.
Edit: Alfano didn’t see him listed

I would say Eddie Williams. Everybody forgets this but he was the prized recruit out of Florida in 2012 not Amari Cooper. He and Landon Collins should have been an incredible safety duo. Instead, Williams couldn’t get on the field and got arrested for assaulting and robbing a Bama student. Truly a dumpster fire of a person on and off the field.

Al Woods maybe? Russell Sheppard had a ton of hype with not a lot of production. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Perrilloux but he did have that SECCG MVP.

Probably Channing Ward. 5* DL who only had 6.5 sacks his entire four year career at Ole Miss.
Second choice - Enrique Davis

Biggest bust?
Gotta be Matt Elam well at least per pound. 6'7" claimed at 360 (must have been before first breakfast)
5 star on 247, 4 star by scout and ESPN. Ranked in the top 16 or so DT's. Couldn't believe he picked Kentucky with a Bama offer. Kid had weight problems his entire career and couldn't stay in. Think he only started 11 games his entire career. Some of it was Kentuckys system at the time with the D line just freeing up the backers and not attacking. He'd have two or three lazy plays followed by him randomly walking down an SEC back 10 yards down field. He had talent but the effort and conditioning just weren't there.

Many salient names already mentioned for us. I'll throw Duron Carter into the mix.
