And the rich get richer.

The Alabama Crimson Tide, who already have the No. 1 class in the country for 2023, added a top-ranked cornerback to their group Thursday. Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports reported Desmond Ricks chose Alabama over LSU and Florida in a battle between SEC schools.

Ricks is a 5-star prospect and the No. 23 overall player, No. 2 cornerback and No. 6 player from the state of Florida in the 2023 class, per 247Sports’ composite rankings.

Ricks reclassified from the 2024 class to the 2023 one in October. Alabama also has cornerback Jahlil Hurley (4-star), safety Caleb Downs (5-star) and safety Tony Mitchell (4-star) in the secondary in this year’s class.
