Alabama 2023 — what happened to every signee.
Alabama’s 2023 class brought in 27 signees, including 9 five-stars. 2 reached the NFL, 1 of them from a different school.
The promise
9 five-star signees, ranked nationally — what the hype looked like before a single snap.
The journey stack
One row per signee, ranked by signing-day national rank. Each chit is a stop; the line between them is a transfer. Open a row for the season-by-season record.

The receipts
No recruiting service wrote a word here. The national rank was the promise; what happened next is the whole story.
“The No. 6 player in America.”
Drafted No. 11 overall, round 1 — by a program that never signed him.
“The No. 2 player in America.”
Peak grade of 7 on our 0–100 scale.
The report card
Star power and cohesion are graded against all 297 qualifying classes, 2021–2023. NFL production and on-field value are graded against just the 107 other 2023 classes — a 2023 signee simply hasn’t had as many draft-eligible years as a 2021 signee, so those two dimensions compare like-for-like instead of penalizing recency. Overall GPA still ranks across all 297.
