Mark Ingram commits to Alabama
Here’s the thing: The Alabama Crimson Tide are currently ranked in NCAA Recruiting Scoop’s Top 5 of 2008. Now we could update that ranking right now, but why?
In other words, National Signing Day is coming. That means we can expect a ton of changes. Here’s the change that will make a difference for the Tide.
Will Julio Jones sign with them? If he does, Alabama may just jump ahead of everybody.
Wonder if the masses will still be jumping on the ‘I hate Nick Saban’ bandwagon then?
Mark Ingram, a 5-foot-10, 195 pound athlete from Flint, Michigan (Southwestern Academy High School) has verbally committed to play for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Here’s why people out in Tuscaloosa are stoked:
Ingram runs the 40 yard dash in 4.4 seconds.
Well, that’s not it by itself, actually. You see, Ingram also managed to rush for 846 yards and 14 touchdowns and catch 22 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns in high school.
Wait, that was when he was a junior. As a senior, Ingram managed a measley 1,700 yards rushing and 24 touchdowns.
In other words, Mark Ingram has game.
Thus, when you put it altogether Ingram’s four star status certainly isn’t surprising. Neither, by the way, is his ranking at number 17 in terms of 2008 athletes.
And just for grins we thought we’d also let you know that Ingram is considered the sixth best prospect coming out of the state of Michigan.
In the end, Mark Ingram chose the Tide over the Arizona State Wildcats, Florida Gators, Iowa Hawkeyes, Michigan State Spartans, Tennessee Volunteers, Washington Huskies, and Wisconsin Badgers.
Good luck to him. And while we’re at it, good luck to all the SEC teams that will have to account for him in the coming years.
