It's good to be champions.
Less than a month after winning their sixth national championship in 12 years, the Alabama Crimson Tide signed the highest-rated recruiting class in history on National Signing Day Wednesday (February 3), according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
Alabama's class for the 2021 national recruiting cycle received a total of 325.95 points, which surpassed Florida's 2010 class (324.67) for the most all-time. The Tide had already amassed the record-setting total prior to National Signing Day, but hadn't yet officially signed 5-star running back Caram Wheaton until the Wednesday morning, solidifying its 26-signee class.
Alabama's class includes seven 5-star and 15 4-star prospects, with an average grade of 94.9. Ohio State, which ranked second for the 2021 national recruiting cycle, earned 309.49 total points.
The Crimson Tide already have 14 players from their 2021 class on campus as early enrollees for the 2021 spring semester including four 5-star prospects, nine 4-stars and one 3-star.
