Alabama has been awarded the title of Recruiting National Champions from two of the country's major recruiting services after closing out with several major additions to their 2013 class on National Signing Day.

247Sports became the first services to call the contest for Alabama, giving the Tide the No. 1 spot based on their 247Composite team recruiting rankings which average together the rankings of all four major recruiting services (247Sports, ESPN, Rivals and Scout). The Crimson Tide finished ahead of Ohio State (No. 2), Florida (No. 3), Michigan (No. 4) and Notre Dame (No. 5) in the 247Composite thanks in large part to landing five players with consensus five-star rankings from the major recruiting services.

"This Alabama class not only impressive in that it is deep in talent with six five-star prospects according to the 247Composite, it's impressive in terms of where the Tide now goes and recruits," said 247Sports National Recruiting Director JC Shurburtt. "There are 13 different states represented in this class and Alabama was able to land the top prospects in the states of Virginia, Utah and Pennsylvania, in addition to reaching into Texas and Florida for five-star talent (Robinson and Henry), beating out the in-state and regional powers on both. Given Nick Saban and his staff's ability to evaluate and develop talent, this class should be yet another that produces great success for the Crimson Tide."

Rivals.com quickly followed by naming the Tide their Recruiting National Champions as well. Alabama finished No. 1 in the Rivals Team Rankings for the fifth time in the last six years and the highest point total in the history of the Rivals Team Rankings, which date back to 2002.

"It's another amazing class for Alabama from top to bottom hitting all their needs," Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell said. "The running backs headline the class and assure there will be no downgrade at that position in the future and Robert Foster and O.J. Howard are keys to the passing game. They also reeled in a nice offensive line class and two heady quarterbacks. On defense you have to like what they did at linebacker and along the defensive line especially."
