Rivals released their list of the top 100 recruits in the nation, with Alabama getting a handful of spots.
AL.com’s Matt Scalici reports that six players from the state of Alabama made the list, including St. Paul’s linebacker Tre Williams coming in at no.33 overall. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL STORY
Hoover defensive backer Marlon Humphrey was the highest rated recruit in the state, coming in at no.11 overall.
Vigor 4-star Defensive End Justin Thornton is the latest star recruit from the Mobile-area to commit to Auburn.
Thornton made the decision, early Mother’s Day morning at his church, which was originally reported to come down between LSU or Auburn.
Texas A&M was rumored to have an outside chance, because Thornton’s father lives near the Dallas area, but that was never a major factor.
He named LSU his leading favorite this past month, but the latest trend of commits from his peers only made this decision easier.
Thornton joins fellow Vigor star Deshaun Davis and St. Paul’s Tre’ Williams and Josh Casher as the major recruits to commit to the Tigers this offseason.

It’s one thing to send a recruit over 100 messages on Facebook or recruit their girlfriends, but Mississippi State Head Coach Dan Mullen pulled off a first.
CBS Sports’ Jerry Hinnen reports that Mullen sent a Mother’s Day card to the mother of offensive line recruit Chase Johnson. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL STORY
Mullen emphasized on family values with the Bulldog program in the letter, but it’ll be interesting to see how many more letter Mrs. Johnson receives throughout the year from the Mississippi State coach.
