Alabama 2020 defensive target, Mekhail Sherman’s, size may make you question his age but his play will make you want him on your team.
Sherman received an offer from Alabama this summer. The main thing that stood out to him about the Tide is the way they develop their players.
“I like the way they develop players,” Sherman said. “They can take anyone and turn them into an NFL level talent.”
Alabama defensive coordinator, Tosh Lupoi, left a big impression on Sherman. A familiar face to Sherman also has him excited about Alabama.
“I love the way they have developed Terrel Lewis, who also went to St.John’s,” Sherman said.
St. John’s was faced with a bit of a challenge in their matchup with Hoover. The game was set to be played on Friday night but a lightning delay caused the game to be rescheduled to Saturday at 9 a.m., which caused St. John’s to go back to the Hotel around 11 pm. and wake up at 6 a.m. to prepare for a 9 a.m. kickoff. Sherman believes that he and his teammates were not distracted by these events.
“That is just football. This is what we do,” Sherman said. “We get up at 6:30 in the morning and get after it.”
His hard work has paid off and currently has him ranked as a 5-Star recruit. It is easy to see why he is considered one of the top defensive players in the nation. He has the ability to play outside linebacker as well as provide pressure off the edge with great efficiency.
Alabama knows all too well what linebacker depth means. They currently have one linebacker committed in the 2020 class in Jackson Barton Sherman would be a great addition.
