Alabama has the top-ranked team in the country and locked in the top-ranked recruiting class for the ninth time in the past 12 years.
The Crimson Tide landed the No. 1 class, according to the 247Sports.com’s composite rankings. Alabama signed 23 players, including six five-star recruits on the first day of the early signing period Wednesday. Ohio State was second with its best showing since the 2017-18 recruiting classes.
Georgia, which took home the top spot last year, finished third after signing 20 players, including four five-star recruits.
Much of Alabama’s success on the recruiting trail can be attributed to player development, according to Rivals.
