Cooper Bateman and Luke Del Rio - Sports Stars of Tomorrow Recruiting

Alabama reached into the Rocky Mountain region for two quarterbacks. Cooper Bateman from Utah came as a priority recruit on scholarship. Luke Del Rio from Colorado made the bold decision to walk on after coaching changes at Oklahoma State shifted his plans.

Neither state typically produces SEC quarterbacks, which made the double haul notable. Bateman and Del Rio both wanted to prove that talent exists beyond traditional recruiting hotbeds. The Crimson Tide gave them the stage.
