The Alabama Crimson Tide already hold a commitment from the top-rated inside linebacker in the nation in Auburn High School star Reuben Foster, and now the Tide may be close to landing a pledge from the top outside linebacker in the nation as well.

Miami-native Matthew Thomas, rated by ESPN as the nation's top outside linebacker, told 247Sports that he will choose between five finalists, with the Crimson Tide currently in the lead.

"I can say Alabama is my leader then Miami, Florida State, Florida and then Georgia," Thomas said.

Smart kid! I hope he still feels this way on NSD.

This is why I think we need an earlier signing period. When they commit let them sign. JMHO. RTR!

I agree Bro Rick. I think it would help the NCAA in many ways in reducing the "under the table" tactics that has already gotten some schools in trouble. I also think it would make it a lot easier on the recruit and would permit him to enjoy his senior year in high school.
