Reuben Foster article CBS

Reuben Foster interview ESPN

"It was hard, there were some talented people here" Foster said. "Everybody works hard and there were some big guys here. It was unbelievable."

Close to being the consensus number two player in 2013, the five-star linebacker is a terror with pads on coming downhill and didn't restrain himself too much while going through drills in only Nike gear and shorts. Foster wore the same shirt that everybody else did but there was no denying that every running back and fellow linebacker were gunning to beat one of the top recruits in the country.

"I had a lot of targets on my back," he said. "People were calling me out, they said they wanted to go with the best of the best."

Foster got banged up during pass coverage drills after knocking into somebody else and held himself out instead of risking further injury. Despite missing 30 minutes or so at the end of the four-hour camp, the talented linebacker still accomplished what he set out to do coming into the day.

"One, I wanted to get in shape. Two I wanted to get some work in," Foster said. "I wanted to show everybody even though I've got the number two spot (in the class of 2013) and I'm not going to give it up. I'm not going to lay back on my butt and say I have it made. You let up and somebody can take your spot but I'm not going to have that."

An Alabama commitment, Foster made waves by transferring from Troup County High School in LaGrange, Georgia to Auburn, Alabama. Naturally it is a bit weird wearing Crimson Tide gear around his new hometown but that's nowhere near as awkward as telling Nick Saban and the coaching staff of the move last month.

"They did not take it well," Foster said. "They thought I was trying to go to Auburn. I'm not trying to go to Auburn, I'm sticking with my commitment to Alabama - I'm still Rolling with the Tide."

Foster hears "War Eagle" just about every day and while he shakes it off constantly, it's just part of a transition that he is still trying to get used to.

"I'm comfortable but you have to make new friends," he said. "It's like a routine you have to learn. But it will be alright."

With his recruitment over for some time now, Foster has turned into one of Alabama's top recruiters because he is good friends with a number of top players in the South. Though he's no longer in Georgia, he keeps tabs on quite a few of the state's top prospects and is looking to draw them to Tuscaloosa with the promise of capturing a national championship.

"I'm recruiting everybody, I don't care," he said. "I'm recruiting (Georgia commit) Tray Matthews, Alvin Kamara… I'm recruiting everybody who is a D-1 material because I'm trying to get myself a ring."

The 6-foot-1, 245-pounder earned MVP honors based on his performance at the camp and will also take home an invite to 'The Opening.'

"It's an honor," Foster said. "I thought they'd just mail us a certificate or something on the internet."

Despite all the accolades he earned on Saturday, Foster was more excited to jet out of the camp because he was going to prom later that evening where he'll no doubt be competing for another award as best dressed linebacker in the country.

Alvin Kamara is in the article as well

If he can atleast get Kamara and give that future 5 star linebacker in Georgia some info on Bama and invite him up there that would be more than enough. I wonder if he has been working on Trey Johnson cus didnt he just say he wanted to visit us? Like Reuben said, he wants talent around him to win rings. If only a 4 or 5 star QB (Cooper Bateman hopefully) could think this way.

Raekwon McMillan's highlights!!!

nicknaming him "fish scales"
