Alabama football put on its hosting hat as prospects from all over the country flocked to Tuscaloosa for Junior Day.

Some recruits already had an offer from the Crimson Tide and were visiting to continue building a relationship. But other players were invited with the opportunity to improve their stock with Nick Saban and Co. 

Now some of those players have announced they have received the coveted five-letter word: offer. And below are some of the prospects who received an offer after Junior Day.

Amari Jefferson, ATH/WR, Baylor School, C/o 2024, 6 feet, 1 inch, 195 lbs

Jefferson is a true deep-ball threat, using his speed to simply outrun his defenders for catches that usually end in a touchdown. The 4-star recruit from Tennessee can also get to his second gear very quickly, catching the ball on comeback routes then exploding past the secondary.

On tape, Jefferson doesn't display a lot of route running outside of comebacks and one really good stop-and-go route. He could stand to improve that aspect of his game before he reaches the college level.

It is also worth mentioning that Jefferson is currently committed to play baseball for Tennessee, setting up the decision on which sport he'll eventually choose.

Jared Curtis, QB, Nashville Christian School, C/o 2026, 6 feet, 3 inches, 200 lbs

What's ironic about this offer is that Curtis' 7-on-7 team, Elite 3, was competing in Alabaster when the freshman quarterback earned his offer from the Crimson Tide.

Even though it's early, the Nashville native already has offers from Georgia, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt. And it's clear why: he has a really strong and accurate arm with the ability to scramble when necessary, but he definitely looks to pass first. 

Antwann Hill Jr., QB, Houston County, C/o 2025, 6 feet, 5 inches, 215 lbs

The measurables on Hill, a top-10 quarterback, speak for itself. What's scarier is that Hill will only grow into his frame as he gets older.

On tape, it's fair to say that Hill has a cannon for an arm and he can make a lot of the simple throws. As he continues to develop, he'll likely learn more of his team's playbook showcase his ability to make a variety of throws, which is something that isn't shown on tape.

Rydarrius Morgan, S, Central High School, C/o 2024, 6 feet, 175 lbs

Morgan is a tackling machine, showing his closing speed an pursuit on defense and special teams. The Phenix City native gets downhill and hits hard and clean, and more importantly can tackle in the open field.

He also had some good plays in coverage, but that is most likely where he could improve. On the first play of his highlight tape, you might be amazed at how quickly he tracked down the ball carrier, but the showcase of his athleticism came after he misread the play and had to recover.

Marquise Lightfoot, EDGE, Kenwood Academy, C/o 2024, 6 feet, 5 inches, 215 lbs

Lightfoot might be the latest in the recent trend of elite edge rushers to take his talents to Tuscaloosa. The Chicago native is a top-10 prospect at his position who gets into the backfield in a hurry.

He's someone that uses a lot of strength to overpower people, which may translate to the next level, but could also cause hesitation as Lightfoot doesn't have a current need to develop other aspects off pass rushing.

Isaia Faga, DL, Central High School, C/o 2024, 6 feet, 2 inches, 275 lbs

Another player that is committed to another program, but this time the 3-star defensive lineman from Phenix City is has already pledged to play football for the University of Utah. If there is a program that can flip any recruit Alabama is that program.

Faga's strongest skill is his ability to shed blockers with relative ease, both with his pure strength and his technique. He can get into the backfield and wreak havoc.

Caleb Odom, TE, Carrollton High School, C/o 2024, 6 feet, 5 inches, 204 lbs

Calling Odom a receiving tight end would be an understatement as the 4-star prospect primarily lined up outside the numbers for Villa Rica. But with the addition of Tommy Rees and the recent uptrend of tight end talent to Tuscaloosa, adding a player of Odom's caliber could be a good sign of things to come.
