Some thought it was just a cute slogan, but Nick Saban was serious about the “Alabama factor” needing to be restored throughout the football program. After not winning a national championship in 2018 and not making the College Football Playoff this season, he returned to doing the one thing that made the Crimson Tide great: signing more in-state talent.
Of the 20 student-athletes that chose to sign during the Early Signing Period, nine hail from the state of Alabama.
All of them are hungry and per four-star running back, Roydell Williams, he wants to make sure the Crimson Tide will ‘never be left out of the playoff again’.
