If Alabama’s quarterback commit Taulia Tagovailoa gets his way, he’ll help the Crimson Tide land a second commitment from five-star running back Trey Sanders.

The nation’s No. 1 running back prospect for the 2019 recruiting cycle is no stranger to Nick Saban’s program. He was once committed to the Crimson Tide but backed off that decision on New Year’s Day of 2018. It didn’t take Sanders long to announce Alabama still held the pole position in his recruitment and he has remained in close contact with the program despite his decision to walk back his commitment to start 2018.

While the Alabama coaching staff has been pitching Sanders on playing in Tuscaloosa for years, the Crimson Tide now have the assistance of peer recruiting via 2019 four-star QB commit Tagovailoa. The two players are currently in Arlington participating in the latest The Opening Finals camp and Sanders admits he’s hearing about the Tide often from his potential future teammate in Tuscaloosa.

“Taulia is always coming at me. We’re on the same (7-on-7) team (at The Opening Finals),” Sanders recently said according to Josh Bean of AL.com, “and he said this could be the future.”

The two players would potentially come together to form one of the most potent backfields in the nation for the 2019 recruiting cycle if they do end up playing together. While Sanders is receiving the fullcourt press from Tagovailoa and the Alabama coaching staff, his brother Umstead Sanders just officially enrolled in Gainesville despite a last-ditch effort by the Crimson Tide to get him to join the program.

We’ll soon find out which pitch is more impactful on Sanders, the one from his future quarterback or the one from his brother.
