With 22 commitments on the list, space is limited in the Crimson Tide’s 2020 class, but that hasn’t limited storylines on the recruiting trail.

Alabama enters the month of August coming off a momentous summer, landing key pieces in both its 2020 and ’21 classes.

Who could be next to join the Tide?

Here’s a look at five candidates, plus a bonus name.

***

Xavion Alford, 4-star S, Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek

Height/Weight: 6-foot-0.5, 188 pounds

Rating: No. 11 safety, No. 145 overall player

Schools in the mix: Alabama, Florida, LSU, Texas, Texas A&M, others

Alford made the trek out to Tuscaloosa twice so far in 2019, the latter visit for a workout in June that vaulted him up the Tide’s wish list at defensive back. The Houston area native has been trending to Alabama with a commitment appearing imminent throughout the month of July. However, Alford has yet to make a decision known. The four-star safety remains one to keep an eye on as we enter August.

Nadab Joseph, CB, Independence C.C. (Kan.)

Height/Weight 6-foot-2, 193 pounds

Rating: n/a

Schools in the mix: Alabama, Georgia, others

The one-time Alabama commit turned Georgia signee is finishing up his time at Independence C.C. this upcoming year after impressing on the camp circuit this summer. Alabama is trending to regain Joseph’s commitment after opting not to sign the former four-star corner from South Florida during the Early Signing Period in 2017 due to academic concerns. A decision could come at any time.

Jamil Burroughs, 4-star DT, Powder Springs (Ga.) McEachern — Georgia commit

Height/Weight: 6-foot-2, 330 pounds

Rating: No. 32 defensive tackle, No. 323 overall player

Schools in the mix: Alabama, Georgia

The four-star defensive tackle has visited Alabama several more times than he has Georgia this spring and summer, including two trips to the Tide’s Champions Cookouts in June and July. We’re coming up on Burroughs’ one-year anniversary of making his pledge to the Bulldogs. Do we see movement in his recruitment this month?

Joel Williams, 4-star ATH, Baton Rouge (La.) Madison Prep

Height/Weight: 6-foot-1, 180 pounds

Rating: No. 11 ATH, No. 302 overall player

Schools in the mix: Alabama, Florida, LSU, Houston, Kentucky, and Tennessee

Similar to Alford, Williams showed up to Alabama’s camp in early June and impressed the coaching staff on his way to solidifying his offer with the program. Williams returned for the Champions Cookout later in the month and has been on commitment watch ever since. The Bayou State product set a Sept. 9 commitment date.

Arik Gilbert, 5-star TE, Marietta (Ga.)

Height/Weight: 6-foot-5, 253 pounds

Rating: No. 1 TE, No. 11 overall player

Schools in the mix: Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Tennessee

Why could Gilbert be next? The five-star tight end has mulled over different commitment dates, including getting his decision out of the way before the season. Nothing is set, but at last check Gilbert said he’d likely be waiting until at least during the season to make an announcement. Alabama got Gilbert in on an official visit — his first — in June and then again for its Champions Cookout last weekend. The Tide has quietly stayed in the mix here throughout the spring and summer despite many pegging Gilbert to Georgia or Tennessee. The five-star prospect told BamaOnLine at The Opening Finals that he felt he was hearing from Alabama and Georgia the most.

Bonus name:

Jordan Banks, 4-star OLB, Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne

Height/Weight: 6-foot-1, 228 pounds

Rating: No. 17 OLB, No. 206 overall player

Schools in the mix: Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Washington

Justin Flowe is no longer in the mix. The five-star inside linebacker announced his Alabama-less top four on Friday. Flowe was one of three inside linebackers the Tide was working to bring in to its class, Noah Sewell and Jordan Banks being the others. The latter has named the Tide his leader after taking a pair of visits out to Tuscaloosa from California in the last 12 months. With plans aimed at November for announcing a decision, does Banks opt to hop on board sooner?
