Five-star running back Trey Sanders is the top player at his position in the 2019 recruiting class and he recently decommitted from Alabama. He did it right before they played Clemson in the Sugar Bowl, but that didn't appear to bother the Crimson Tide as they handily beat Clemson 24-6. They've got even less to worry about now as he still has Alabama as his top school despite the decommitment.

He also has offers from Florida State, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Miami and Oklahoma with others likely coming in after the 2018 class is settled for schools.
