Alabama is hoping to swipe an elite recruit from LSU football.
Four-star wide receiver Brian Thomas is one of LSU football‘s top 2021 recruiting targets.
The Tigers are presumably the favorite to land the Louisiana native, who is rated as the No. 2 wide receiver in the nation by 247Sports.
But Alabama is a threat to steal Thomas and it might have to do with a trick that the Crimson Tide broke out.
According to Rivals, former Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones, who currently plays in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons, recently reached out to Thomas to try to sway the talented recruit to Tuscaloosa.
