Darius Hanks

SIGNED! WR, 6-1, 164, Norcross, Ga., HS

Could play either defensive back, but will likely start out as a wide receiver. As a senior, had 55 receptions for 857 yards and eight touchdowns. Terrific athlete who could be a real sleeper addition.

Jennings Hester

SIGNED! LB, 6-3, 215, Marist School, Atlanta, Ga.

Hester’s addition is a clear indication that Saban wants to get bigger at inside linebacker. His senior numbers weren’t available, but he reportedly had 105 tackles, nine tackles for loss, four forced fumbles and one sack his junior season.

Kareem Jackson

SIGNED! RB, 6-0, 190, Fork Union, Va., Military Academy

During his high school career at Westside-Macon in Georgia, Jackson accumulated 3,447 rushing yards and 46 touchdowns, along with nine interceptions. He originally committed to Vanderbilt and had five interceptions last season for Fork Union.

Chris Lett

SIGNED! S, 6-1½, 210, Pensacola, Fla., HS

Lett was considered an early addition early on and didn’t waiver on his verbal commitment. Last season, he had 47 tackles and three interceptions. Could play cornerback.

Marquis Maze

SIGNED! WR, 5-9.5, 163, 4.40

Maze rushed for over 1,000 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2005. He recorded over 450 yards receiving and three touchdowns. He has speed to burn, and he lines up on special teams for the Wildcats recording close to 300 yards on kick-off returns.

Kerry Murphy

SIGNED! DT, 6-5, 315, Hoover HS

Was Saban’s first verbal commitment and solidified his intentions Tuesday after visiting Miami. Had 65 tackles as a senior, after tallying 77 tackles, 13 for a loss and eight sacks as a junior. Murphy is not academically eligible yet, but could possibly contribute quickly.

Chris Underwood

SIGNED! TE, 6-4, 215, Vestavia Hills HS, Birmingham

Underwood is such a darkhorse that most recruiting services didn’t have him rated when he committed last week. Clemson, Georgia Tech Memphis were also said to be interested.

William Vlachos

SIGNED! C, 6-2 300, Mountain Brook HS

Vlachos accepted an early grayshirt offer despite also receiving offers from Georgia Tech, LSU and West Virginia. Florida State made a late charge too, but he declined. Could play either guard or center.

Alex Watkins

SIGNED! DE, 6-4½, 225, Haywood HS, Brownsville, Tennessee

Watkins surprised some people by accepting an early offer to leave the state of Tennessee, but he held firm on his commitment. He had 116 tackles, 19 for a loss and nine sacks as a senior. Watkins had 16 sacks as a junior. Will likely play weakside end.

Chavis Williams

SIGNED! DE, 6-5, 220, Dora HS
