**** 2017 OLB Markail Benton (Central Phenix City, AL) Commits to Bama ****

Re: 2017 OLB Markail Benton (Central Phenix City, AL) Updates

I looked at the barn 24/7 site last night and most thought he will come to Bama. I think his recruiter was Dameyune Craig who went to LSU.

Nice offer list. Would love to see him in crimson. 247 certainly doesn`t seem to think so, though.

Physically he looks and measures more like an ILB. Maybe the staff convinced him he'd be better fit in the 3-4.

He's announcing Friday. Many expect Auburn to be the landing spot, but BOL says sources tell them Bama is where he'll go.

This is an interesting one. He has been to Bama twice since he has been to *U and most recently was at the Bama camp this past weekend. It makes me think he will commit to us since he was just at our camp but it could be we were not all over him at camp and he will decide to go the Barn. He looks like a talented guy and hope he comes to Bama.

He was at Big Cat Weekend before arriving in Tuscaloosa for camp this week.

For those weary of his commitment based on the Crystal Ball predictions, you might want to take a look at it and see the dates of the picks. Auburn has gone from 100% to 63% in the last three days.

Crazy that we can continue to sign high profile recruits at positions that we're already loaded at. He could go to AU or FSU and start his freshman year but chooses to come to Bama and wait his turn. RTR!

Great news. Got to love pulling another one out of the Barner's backyard. Welcome and RTR Markail.

Welcome, Markail. Roll Tide!!!!

PS: bamaonline article confirms Benton is being recruited at ILB.

Markail Benton said he loves Alabama. "Alabama has better coaches."

This is so true, but I kinda hate to see a recruit saying it like this.

the barn faithful are mad as heck over this commitment!! and of course the hate is strong as usual on why he chose Bama over their great football program along with the pathetic jabs:

- he's overrated
-he hates contact and is not physical
- he was bought $$$
- he has a new car after his Bama visit
-he will sit on the bench for 3 years

blah blah blah...:rolleye2:

Great to get another top LB. Of course, he may get on the field with our other former Barn commits this year!!
