Success 

It's been a while since the University of Alabama signed a double-digit number of players from within the state borders. Alabama has signed the No. 1 recruiting class eight times in the last 10 years, so the Tide coaches know how to balance a class depending on position needs for the team. Nick Saban focuses on the best players at each position regardless of their location.

Current in-state players in the NFL who signed with Alabama since Nick Saban's arrival: Julio Jones, Marcell Dareus, Mark Barron, D.J. Fluker, AJ McCarron, C.J. Mosley, Courtney Upshaw, Reuben Foster, Quinton Dial, O.J. Howard, Marlon Humphrey, TJ Yeldon, Reggie Ragland, ArDarius Stewart, and Ryan Anderson.
