As if Alabama needed any more talent to their team, they got even more.
The Crimson Tide are already contenders for the SEC title and national championship nearly every season. They have a team that's returning majority of their starters on both sides of the ball and have an absolutely solid recruiting class.
Once you think they can't get any better, they do.
In the Under Armour All-American Game, Alabama didn't just land a top wide receiver recruit in Cyrus Jones, but they also received the commitment from top safety Landon Collins.
If the SEC wasn't afraid, they are now.
Jones is a speedster receiver who is absolutely dangerous with the football in his hands. You get him in open space and there's a good chance he's taking it the distance. He'll stretch the field and make things that much easier for everybody else on offense.
Then you add 5-star recruit Eddie Williams, who played in the secondary in high school but will be converted to wide receiver when he joins Alabama. He'll be the big target for the Tide at 6'3", 204 pounds and is already receiving comparisons to former Alabama receiver Julio Jones.
Landon Collins at the safety position just adds even more depth to a defense that was already top two in the country. Collins is arguably the top safety in this year's class, and under Nick Saban, he will continue to get even better. Also, with the talent around him, it will allow him to take more risks and make even more big plays than he's already known for.
Alabama was going to be a national championship contender regardless of which commits they were blessed with. Now that they have three 5-star players, they just become that much more scarier.
The rest of the SEC should be worried.
