Given the incredible job Nick Saban has done recruiting for Alabama we probably also should just go ahead and assume that his latest target, linebacker/running back Dylan Moses, is going to be a star.
Just not for a pretty long time, considering Moses is in middle school.
Moses is an eighth grader from Baton Rouge (La.). AL.com reported that Alabama offered the scholarship over the weekend, at the Crimson Tide's Junior Day event. Even though that sounds crazy to make scholarship promises to an eighth grader, Moses already has an offer from LSU as well.
Projecting a player's physical growth and development as a player before he gets to high school is almost impossible, even though Moses looks great now.

Moses is 6-1, 215 pounds already, so it's not much of a surprise he's much better than everyone his age. He went to LSU's camp for five years, which is why the Tigers knew of him, and the AL.com story said that Alabama took notice because of a highlight tape of the youngster.
