Several Alabama commits are now ranked a good amount higher, including a four-star safety and two four-star defensive tackles.

Four-star safety Brian Branch and four-star defensive lineman Timothy Smith have both moved up more than 50 spots in the 247Sports Composite rankings, which were updated Thursday.

Branch, who jumped up 51 spots, is now rated as the 58th-best overall player and third-best safety in the 2020 recruiting class.

Smith, meanwhile, is up from No. 148 to No. 85 in the 247 Composite overall rankings.

In addition, there were other Crimson Tide commits who got bumped up in the rankings as well, such as four-star inside linebacker Demouy Kennedy, four-star outside linebacker Will Anderson and four-star defensive lineman Jah-Marien Latham.

Kennedy, who moved up 18 spots, is now rated as the 34th-best overall player in the class. Anderson is up 19 spots and is now ranked as the 78th-best overall player in the class. Latham, who jumped up 44 spots, is now rated as the 194th-best overall player and 18th-best defensive tackle in the class.

There were a few Alabama commits who got moved down in the rankings too, though.

Four-star outside linebacker Quandarrius Robinson, who missed a lot of this season due to an injury, is down from No. 32 to No. 46 in the overall rankings. Four-star safety Malachi Moore is down from No. 143 to No. 178. And four-star defensive lineman Jayson Jones, who was once ranked as high as No. 28 overall in the 247 Composite, was moved down from No. 176 to No. 223.
