Alabama Football Recruiting: Looking Ahead to 2018 Targets

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The proverbial smoke hasn’t cleared yet from the University of Alabama football program’s latest recruiting national championship, and already the focus has turned to next year.

Head coach Nick Saban actually spent a good part of national signing day calling prospects for the 2018 class.

The one area of need that the Crimson Tide didn’t fill as well as hoped in 2017 was cornerback. That probably won’t be an issue with the next class as this is expected to be a very good year at that position and playmakers in general, but not so much for offensive linemen.
