All eyes will turn to the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta next Saturday at 7:00 p.m. (EST) for the Alabama vs. Florida State Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Classic. The two heavyweight programs will play the nationally televised game on ABC.
Alabama and Florida State are also two of the premier teams in the country when it comes to recruiting. This is not earth shattering news. It's not a surprise top recruits are also lining up to attend the game in Atlanta.
Each school is allowed a small number of tickets to provide to recruits for the neutral site game. Alabama and Florida State will provide tickets to specific targets. There will also be several players strongly considering both schools.
At least four five-stars are expected in attendance. Several other highly ranked recruits will also be in the stands next Saturday night.
At least four Crimson Tide commitments (listed above) are expected to attend the game. The early list of recruits in the 2018, 2019 and even 2020 is extremely impressive.
