When you put together the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, people are going to be excited to see the talented incoming freshmen in their first live action.

That’s the case in Tuscaloosa this week, as the Crimson Tide began their spring practice session on Tuesday.

On Wednesday morning, the school released the above highlight video, showing what the team went through on Day 1 of the 2017 spring season.

The motto for the spring is “Outwork Yesterday,” which will be important if Alabama wants to land another spot in the College Football Playoff this fall.

With so many talented freshmen and a strong core of players returning for 2017, the Crimson Tide will once again be a top team when the first 2017 polls are released. Whether they maintain that ranking all year like they did in 2016 (prior to the title game loss) remains to be seen, but the road to a national championship starts in the spring.
