If you imagined Alabama coach Nick Saban enjoying some rest and relaxation the day after winning the national title on Monday, think again.
Saban’s focus has already shifted to 2016, and he’s trying to make sure he bolsters the team’s linebacking corps.
According to five-star linebacker Lyndell “Mack” Wilson, Saban gave him a call on Tuesday.

Of course, no one has a recruiting pitch quite like Saban’s, who could easily point to last night’s national title or any of the four that the school has won over the last seven seasons.
Wilson, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound prospect out of Montgomery, Ala., is rated as the top linebacker in the Class of 2016 and No. 13 overall, according to 247Sports.com.
Wilson has three official visits scheduled for the rest of January, including Georgia on Friday before visiting Alabama on Jan. 22, then Florida on Jan. 29.
