For the University of Alabama, Nick Saban and company are set to bring in a new wave of freshmen. On Wednesday, the early period of National Signing Day takes center stage as student-athletes will sign their letters of intent. With much excitement brewing, the Crimson Tide’s social media account released a hype video to energize its fan base.

Justin Smith, lead scouting and recruiting analyst for TDA, has JC Latham (offensive line) and Ga’Quncy McKinstry (athlete) as the only two commitments with diamond grades. Both have been given one diamond, which means they projected as “immediate contributors and game changers.” Be sure to follow Smith and touchdownalabama.com for all the latest recruiting coverage.
