Alabama had the pleasure of having the top recruit in the nation, Kayvon Thibodeaux, on campus this weekend for an official visit and an interaction between Nick Saban and Thibodeaux seem to have been the highlight of the visit.
“I had a great time at Alabama,” Thibodeaux said via Twitter. “I just wanna give a special thanks to Coach Saban , he signed a picture of my great grandfather who passed away, he was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama and was a big #Bama fan . That made my grandmother so happy. So thanks again #RollTide .”

Thibodeaux also had the chance to see the Tide take on Texas A&M this weekend and got fully indulged in Alabama’s football culture. He even got a chance to go on Lake Tuscaloosa with Nick Saban.

Touchdown Alabama Magazine has Kayvon Thibodeaux ranked No.1 in our Most Wanted Recruit List.
The Tide have now gotten Thibodeaux on campus three times in a six month span, which is huge. It is expected that the Tide will continue to be a huge part of Thibodeaux’s recruitment going forward.
