National Signing Day is far from over, but it looks like the recruiting “national championship” for the class of 2015 is finished – and Alabama is No. 1 for the fifth consecutive year.

The 247Sports Team rankings are calculated using the industry-generated 247Sports Composite player rankings - which is a proprietary algorithm that gives equal weight to the player rankings from all major recruiting networks to create the industry’s most unbiased and comprehensive rankings.

This version of No. 1 for Alabama features a remarkable six five-stars according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Those five-stars are:

The No. 1 running back in the country, Damien Harris.

The No. 1 wide receiver in the country, Calvin Ridley

The No. 2 pro-style QB in the country, Blake Barnett

The No. 4 cornerback in the country, Kendall Sheffield.

The No. 5 cornerback in the country, Minkah Fitzpatrick

The No. 7 defensive tackle in the country, Daron Payne.

After landing the top offensive tackle in the country in 2014 with Freshman All-American Cameron Robinson, Alabama responded in 2015 with a loaded offensive interior group. Among them are the nation’s fourth and fifth ranked offensive guards in Lester Cotton and Richie Petitbon.

In a class as talented as this, freshman starters are sure to pop up, and two great candidates at Alabama can be found in the secondary. Deionte Thompson and Ronnie Harrison are both already on campus as early enrollees and could be two names that battle for immediate playing time this spring. Thompson is the nation’s No. 2 safety while Harrison is ranked as the No. 12 safety per 247Sports Composite. However, Harrison is ranked much higher by 247Sports - we have him ranked as the No. 4 safety in the nation.

This year’s recruiting national championship didn’t come easy for Alabama. USC made a strong push for the No. 1 spot on national signing day but came up just short.

The last non-Alabama class to finish No. 1 in the 247Sports rankings came in 2010 when Florida took the title with a class led by future first round draft picks Dominique Easley, Sharrif Floyd and Matt Elam.

This Alabama class falls right in the middle of Nick Saban’s other top Tide classes. Though this group doesn’t top the 2014 and 2013 classes, it does top the 2011 and 2012 classes in terms of point total.
