Why has Alabama suddenly become a QB recruiting hotbed?

Three years ago, three Alabama high school quarterbacks signed with SEC programs.

Last year, three more Alabama high school quarterbacks signed with Power 5 teams.

This year, five quarterbacks have already committed to SEC programs -- Thompson's Taulia Tagovailoa and Hewitt-Trussville's Paul Tyson to Alabama, Pinson Valley's Bo Nix to Auburn, James Clemens' Jamil Muhammad to Vanderbilt and Central-Phenix City's Peter Parrish to LSU. McGill-Toolen's Sheldon Layman has committed to Memphis.

Alabama long ago earned a reputation for producing plenty of college signees, but quarterback hasn't always been the state's top crop.
