‘Bama makes final push for three defensive tackles

With National Signing Day 2012 set for Wednesday, the Alabama Crimson Tide are making one final push for three players…all of which play the defensive tackle position.

Alabama is expected to sign one player from the list below, and possibly two, in order to put the finishing touches on the 2012 signing class.

Eddie Goldman, Korren Kirven, and Dalvin Tomlinson should present the only “signing day drama” for the Crimson Tide barring some unforeseen event come Wednesday morning.

With the exclusion of possible grayshirts and non-academic qualifiers, the names listed on the verbal commitment sheet are expected to sign with the University of Alabama.

As usual, Nick Saban will hold his annual signing day press conference come Wednesday afternoon. At which time all questions concerning the events of the day will be addressed.

Alabama is poised to have another top-three signing class and possibly the No. 1 class in the nation. So much of the final rankings will not only depend on how Alabama “closes” but also how other schools finish as well.
