Two impressive five-star talents for the University of Alabama revealed they are in the game. Ryan Williams and Jaylen Mbakwe, both Alabama natives, shared the news via social media. Williams, a wide receiver from Saraland High School, will arrive on campus in the summer. He is a two-time “Mr. Football” honoree for the state and arguably the top player in the state.

Mbakwe, an athlete from Clay-Chalkville High School, excelled at several positions. He served at quarterback, wide receiver, defensive back, and return specialist for a Class 6A State Championship program. Mbakwe will be a defensive back for the Tide.

It will be intriguing to see the ratings both get. Spring practice for Mbakwe begins on Monday, March 4 with Alabama.
