Landon Collins Commits To Alabama Crimson Tide Over LSU Tigers
Alabama landed a very special safety prospect today.

This isn’t terrible competition he’s destroying in the highlight tape. And those who watch him say he has an advanced feel for and understanding of the game. It’s also impressive that some of the highlights show him actually breaking down and making a form tackle, rather than trying for a kill-shot on each play.
