The ESPN jr. 300 was released on Friday and all of Alabama’s commits made the list.

The Tide’s 2020 recruiting class has a total of five commits. All of them are ranked as 4-Stars, according to ESPN. Jayson Elijah Jones lead the way with the highest ranking. Here is how the Tide’s entire 2020 recruiting class fared.

Jayson Elijah Jones No. 39

Jones weighs in at 322 pounds and is 6-feet-5-inches tall. This kid has leader written all over him. Tide fans should look for him to have a similar impact to the one Pierce Quick has had on the 2019 recruiting class. This guy is a monster, that is difficult to tame. His combination of size and power makes him a defensive mismatch for most offensive linemen.

Jackson Bratton No. 67

Bratton is a product of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. He has great size for the linebacker position at 6-feet-3-inches and 215 pounds. He will continue to fill out his frame during his last two seasons of high school football.  Bratton knows how to anchor a defense and be a leader. He is very vocal and knows how to communicate with his teammates. One of his biggest tools is his tackling ability. He knows how to lower the boom and make ball carriers remember him for the rest of the night.

Dazalin Worsham No. 71

Worsham is very quick and makes the most of his speed. He is dangerous in the open field and knows how to create space. His style of play is very similar to Alabama wideouts, DeVonta Smith and Henry Ruggs, which is one of the many reasons he chose the Tide.

Carson Beck No. 89

Beck surprise everyone when he chose the Tide during an unofficial visit. He was previously committed to play baseball at Florida but flipped his football and baseball commitment to the Tide. His sophomore season was cut to four games but that didn’t stop him from producing. He threw for 16 touchdowns and 994 passing yards.

He has great size at 6-feet-3-inches and 214 pounds.  His ability to throw the ball deep and put enough air under it, so his wideout has time to adjust is remarkable. He is also athletic enough to make plays on the run when things break down.

Javier Morton No. 149

Morton is a product of Stone Mountain, Georgia. He stands at 6-feet-1-inches and weighs 175 pounds. He has great ball judgment skills and a slender frame that enables him to leap into the air and fight for these 50/50 balls. He is not extremely fast but has the potential to make an impact in a zone coverage defense, which is what he currently plays in most of the time. The Georgia-native will continue to improve as he is only a sophomore.  He gave Alabama a verbal commitment on Dec. 1.

Several of the Tide’s top 2020 targets found their name on the list as well. The Tide is off to an excellent start and want to have two back to back outstanding recruiting class, with the Tide’s 2019 class leading the way.
