SAN ANTONIO -- Antonio Alfano received his fifth star and the No. 8 overall spot in the country from 247Sports back in November after a dominant senior season.

The New Jersey native's goal heading into the All-American Bowl in Texas this week was to get the No. 1 spot in the final rankings, and after Day 1 of practice for the East team, it's hard to argue there are many players better than the 6-foot-4, 274-pounder.

In a day largely consumed by team install and getting familiar with terminology, Alfano put together a dominant practice session and flashed in what is a loaded defensive line grouping.

The 5-star defender was an issue for every offensive lineman he went up against, particularly Clemson signee Will Putnam.

Here's a look at several of the big plays the Tide signee made and the buzz he generated on social media throughout the morning practice session.
