Michigan and Alabama don’t always cross paths in recruiting, so I wanted to go back and watch highlights of some of the stars of Monday’s national championship game. So here are a few of the guys who really stood out for Alabama and Ohio State.

Devonta Smith – WR – Amite (LA) Amite: Smith was a 4-star, the #9 wide receiver, and #62 overall in the 2017 class.

Hit the jump for a few more highlight reels.

Goodbye, Nick Eubanks

HIGH SCHOOL
Eubanks attended Fort Lauderdale (FL) American Heritage, a program pretty well known for producing college prospect. He was a 3-star, the #15 tight end, and #344 overall in the class of 2016. Michigan secured his commitment late in the process, and he was one of three tight ends in that class, joining Sean McKeon and Devin Asiasi. I gave Eubanks a TTB Rating of 44 (LINK), largely because I thought Asiasi (a 92 rating) and McKeon (77) would push him out.
