Saban raided former home state for top recruits with regularity
Alabama plays at LSU on Saturday night, a game that has often been personal for several players on the Crimson Tide roster.
Here’s a look back at 10 of the more notable Alabama players from Louisiana through the years, plus some honorable mentions : Louisiana native Eddie Lacy won three national championships at Alabama, and played a key role in a victory over LSU in 2012. Lacy’s commitment and signing with Alabama was a definite shot across the bow as to how things were going to be different with Saban in Tuscaloosa. He grew up in New Orleans and went to high school just outside of Baton Rouge, where he was a four-star recruit at Dutchtown High School.
Offensive tackle Cam Robinson chose Alabama over LSU and dozens of other schools out of West Monroe High School in 2014. He was a three-year starter and an All-American for the Crimson Tide and went 3-0 vs. his home-state Tigers. With Collins and a few others, Robinson is on the short list of Louisiana recruits who stung LSU fans the most when he signed with Alabama.
