Alabama<\/a><\/strong> is going nowhere in the race for the No. 1 class in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Following multiple big decommitments, paired with a ranking update, the Tide fell to No. 5 entering this week. On Monday night, though, Kalen DeBoer<\/a><\/strong> and Co. flipped Winter Garden (Fla.)\u00a0West Orange<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0four-star safety\u00a0Ivan Taylor<\/a><\/strong> from Michigan.<\/p>\n

With the addition of the No. 63 overall prospect, Bama made a three-spot jump in the team recruiting rankings and is now back to holding the No. 2 class in the nation with the Early Signing Period just two weeks out.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust the fit,\u201d Taylor told On3 about his decision to flip. \u201cI think I\u2019ll be a better fit there. There\u2019s really nothing else to it. The coaches, the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCoach Hitschler, Coach DeBoer, the whole coaching staff,\u201d he added. \u201cThey just treat me like family. I\u2019m comfortable there. I\u2019m going to be away from my family. It\u2019s good to be treated like family by all the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alabama now has commitments from nine top-100 overall prospects, including a quartet of five-stars.<\/p>\n

Tide pushing for the top-ranked recruiting class once again<\/h2>\n

Duncanville (Texas) quarterback Keelon Russell<\/a><\/strong> flipped from SMU in the summer and is now a Five-Star Plus+ prospect following Monday\u2019s On300 update. He moved up to No. 3 overall and is now No. 6 overall in the On3 Industry Rankings.<\/p>\n

Doylestown (Pa.) IMG Academy five-star interior offensive lineman Michael Carroll<\/a><\/strong> is the nation\u2019s No. 13 recruit and top-ranked IOL, while Denton (Texas) Ryan five-star offensive tackle Ty Haywood<\/a><\/strong> is a top-25 recruit and the No. 5 OT. The class also includes Carmel (Calif.) OT Jackson Lloyd<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 who also received On300 five-star status on Monday.<\/p>\n

Lloyd committed on June 18, just 10 days prior to Mission Viejo (Calif.) five-star cornerback Dijon Lee<\/a><\/strong> doing the same. Lee is the No. 4 corner in the nation and one of three defensive backs in the class, alongside Santa Ana (Calif.) four-star CB Chuck McDonald<\/a><\/strong> and now Taylor. McDonald is also a top-100 recruit.<\/p>\n

Quitman (Miss.) four-star running back Akylin Dear<\/a><\/strong> is the No. 50 prospect and No. 2 RB in the nation. Cincinnati Winton Woods four-star EDGE Justin Hill<\/a><\/strong> isn\u2019t far behind at No. 53 overall.<\/p>\n

Other top commits in the class include: Eastman (Ga.) Dodge County four-star linebacker Darrell Johnson<\/a><\/strong>, El Dorado Hills (Calif.) Oak Ridge four-star tight end Kaleb Edwards<\/a><\/strong>, Mobile (Ala.) Theodore four-star IOL Micah DeBose<\/a><\/strong>, JuCo four-star EDGE Kevonte Henry<\/a><\/strong> and Dacula (Ga.) Mill Creek four-star LB Luke Metz<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
