As of Monday evening, the race for Phenix City, Alabama, 4-star linebacker Markail Benton will come down to the SEC and ACC.
On Monday, Benton tweeted a top six that included Auburn, Florida State, Alabama, Clemson, LSU and South Carolina. Benton is ranked as the nation's No. 6 outside linebacker and No. 89 overall player.
A 6'2", 237-pound athlete, Benton is considered an Auburn lean, but nothing is set in stone with his process. Alabama's hoping to make a major impression this weekend, as Benton is expected to be in Tuscaloosa for the annual A-Day spring game on Saturday.
