Alabama hosted multiple top recruits this past weekend, as the Crimson Tide defeated the Texas A&M Aggies 45-23 on Saturday in Bryant-Denny Stadium. This is what they had to say about their visits to Tuscaloosa on social media:
As the No. 1 player and No. 2 defensive end in the 2019 class, Kayvon Thibodeaux may have been the highest-rated prospect on UA’s campus. He posted a video on Twitter updating his visit.

Here’s what Thibodeaux said after the visit.
I had a great time at Alabama , I just wanna give a special thanks to Coach Saban , he signed a picture of my great grandfather who passed away, he was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama and was a big #Bama fan . That made my grandmother so happy. So thanks again #RollTide 🐘
