"We hit every spot but one," (Saban) said. "We wanted to recruit at least one cornerback, maybe two, and it didn't work out that way."
According to the report, Armour-Davis is already considering a verbal commitment:

Saban's interest is reportedly so high in the 2018 prospect that he spoke with Armour-Davis on signing day, per Scout. Armour-Davis is a two-way player in high school, but projects as a college defensive back.
The 6'0", 165-pound Alabama recruit has offers from other top programs such as USC, Florida, Florida State and Penn State per the report.
