Here's a look at how programs in the SEC are faring on the recruiting trail heading into national signing day on Feb. 4.
Alabama
Commitments: 26
ESPN 300 commitments: 19
Who they have: The Crimson Tide are working on a four-peat atop the class rankings, and they continue to build a big lead with 20 ESPN 300 prospects, headlined by five-star CB Kendall Sheffield. Calvin Ridley, the No. 1- ranked receiver in the ESPN 300, leads an offensive group that includes five-star quarterback Blake Barnett and four-stars such as running back Damien Harris, tight end Hale Hentges, guards Lester Cotton, Brandon Kennedy and Richie Petitbon, and center Dallas Warmack. The first tackle in the class committed Dec. 14 when three-star Matt Womack flipped from LSU. Alabama also snagged running back DeSherrius Flowers. Da'Ron Payne is a massive defensive tackle in the defensive class, which includes linebackers Adonis Thomas, Mekhi Brown and Joshua McMillon. In the secondary, Deionte Thompson and Shawn Burgess-Becker join No. 27 overall Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Who they want: With 27 commitments already, Alabama's class is almost full. There are, however, a few remaining targets. Former Arkansas wide receiver commit K.J. Hill took an official visit to Alabama recently, and Holton Hill will take a visit this upcoming weekend. Former commit Daylon Charlot is still in play, but the Crimson Tide will have to battle with LSU for his services.
