Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide are known for hitting the recruiting trail hard. Tonight, Alabama Football earned a small win in the 2023 cycle with wide receiver Shelton Sampson jr. including the program in his top-6.

Sampson is a native of Baton Rouge, so he naturally includes LSU in the mix, but it would not be the first time Saban landed a player from the Tigers backyard.

There is still plenty of time until Sampson needs to make a decision, so nothing is set quite yet.

The tall receiver would be a big-time pickup for the Crimson Tide, which has a recent history of producing receivers who end up being drafted in the first round of the annual NFL draft.

There’s no sign that Sampson is currently favoring one program over another, so Alabama is in play just as much as the other five teams listed.
