A look at five potential freaks in Alabama’s No. 2 ranked recruiting class per 247Sports,
—
For me it starts with Drew Sanders, the nation’s No. 2 athlete recruit per 247Sports...Sanders is truly one of the unique prospects in this 2020 recruiting cycle.

Thaiu Jones-Bell is exciting in that regard. The 5-foot-11, 187-pound pass catcher meets the standard of what’s recently been recruited in that room. As a junior, the Miami (Fla.) Carol City standout was a touchdown waiting to happen, finding the end zone 17 times in a variety of ways. He has burst, can run, change direction, he can separate, he’s a guy that can step in and play right away.

Similar to Sanders, Gadsden (Ala.) City four-star athlete De'Rickey Wright is very interesting. Who doesn’t love 6-foot-4, 220-pounds with an 86 inch wingspan and the feet of a safety. In this business you’re always scanning for upside and Wright has a ton.

Baltimore (Md.) St. Frances defensive end Chris Braswell is the current jewel of the class, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound edge player ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation’s No. 1 weak-side defensive end.
The burst and strength and body torque Braswell possesses is what makes him a coveted prospect.

Traeshon Holden at the Adidas 7on7 National Championship and it was one of the more dominating performances I saw on the camp circuit. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Holden has some shake to his game allowing him to divide from the defensive back, but where he really shined was going up to get the football.

Bonus Mentions

-Safety commit Brian Branch
-Top247 defensive tackle Jayson Jones
-Muscle Shoals (Ala.) High linebacker Jackson Bratton
-Running back commit Roydell Williams

Highest-rated 2018 Louisiana Tech signee leaves Bulldogs By John Taylor Aug 18, 2018,

quote:
“I just wanted to say to all the coaches I am truly sorry for making statements about the coaching staff that was not true,” the early signee wrote. “[T]hey were always honest with me and did everything they could to try to make my situation better at LA Tech.

“I made some unwise decisions through the recruiting process and a lot of mistakes at LA Tech to try to overcome the decision.”
Wren was the highest-rated member of Tech’s 2018 recruiting class, listed as a three-star prospect on 247Sports.com‘s composite board. Coming out of Mesquite, Tex., that same composite board had the 6-3½, 216-pound Wren listed as the No. 26 athlete in the country and the No. 58 player at any position in the state.
Prior to signing with Tech in December of last year, Wren held Power Five offers from, among others, Arizona, Arkansas, Baylor, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa State, Missouri, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Purdue, Texas Tech, Utah and Washington. In early August of 2017, he committed to Arkansas; nearly two months later, he decommitted from the Razorbacks.
