Nick Saban has done some impressive things on the recruiting trail at the University of Alabama.
He has flipped athletes from rival schools, offered international players, and could have Dre Kirkpatrick’s son playing for him in a few years. However, those aspects pale in comparison to the Crimson Tide nearly having an Olympian. Erriyon Knighton was offered a scholarship to Alabama for the 2022 class. As a native of Tampa, Fla., he was a very talented football and track star at Hillsborough High School. Knighton played quarterback, wide receiver, running back, and safety. In studying his highlight tape, he possessed the ball skills, speed, hands, tackling abilities, football intelligence, and explosiveness to play on offense or defense.
