Alabama football recruiting update as of October 2, 2016. The Crimson Tide landed 5-star outside linebacker Dylan Moses a day after hosting him for an official visit.
There was never really any doubt that Alabama would take care of the Kentucky Wildcats in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide ended up taking down Mark Stoops’ team, 34-6.
And there were plenty of big-time recruits in attendance for an up-close view of the win.
The most notable prospect who was in Tuscaloosa this weekend is 5-star recruit Dylan Moses, the nation’s No. 1 outside linebacker and No. 6 overall player. Based on Moses’ Twitter account, he really enjoyed his time in Alabama.
On second thought, maybe “really enjoyed” is an understatement. On Sunday, Moses announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide, which added 299 recruiting points to its 2017 class. Nick Saban’s staff now has 21 recruits committed in the cycle, and Alabama is only 108 points behind Ohio State for the No. 1 class.
In addition to Moses, the Tide hosted 4-star defensive end Robert Beal, a Georgia commit, 4-star inside linebacker Jacob Phillips and 2-star long snapper Thomas Fletcher, an Alabama commit.

Five-star linebacker Dylan Moses had a great time on his visit to Tuscaloosa — such a great time that he decided to shut down his recruitment.
