2024 Recruiting: CB Jaylen Mbakwe commits to Bama

[TiderJack]

Jaylen is the #1 ranked prospect in Alabama and #4 CB in the 2024 class and #8 overall. Our DB depth is going to be incredible if we finish the '23 class like I think we will. Welcome and RTR Jaylen!!

Have to savor this one. As talented as anybody we'll sign this class.

Excellent, we are loading up the defensive backfield.

RTR!!!

I drilled down deeper to see a little more about this kid. Man, talent wise the kid is a legit 5 star, next season will tell the tale here. Not a huge fan of early commits, but he certainly is an exception. WELCOME

Imagine how good recruiting could be if Saban wasn't so disconnected from these players...

Excellent, we are loading up the defensive backfield.

And it's a good thing because we'll lose potentially 6 after this 2022 season.

It would be awesome………. Guess we will have to settle

We are bringing in many long athletic corners and edge rushers. This is great for the future.

Saw that Mbakwe was injured and carried off the field tonight. Hopefully it isn't something serious.

Jaylin Mbakwe won the fastest man competition at the Under Armor game. Going to be a really good player.

He slipped back into corner back like he only played there all year. Will likely push for a major role next season.

Remember when coach Bryant use to recruit HS QBs to play DB. Usually the best athletes and smart to boot. Mbakwe did a fine job at QB this year for Clay-Chalkvile. He'll do well as a DB at Bama.

Bryant played HS Qb's all over the place...including OG and LB.

The sport was very different back then. QBs were just the best athlete at a high school. In college they were moved to positions which leveraged their size, speed, strength, etc to maximum benefit.
