Allen will take his official to Alabama in January.

Nick Saban was in the D.C. area on Tuesday to visit with Tide commit Jonathan Allen. Get inside for more on the visit.

Favorite commit in this class. He'll be the best pass-rusher Saban has signed at Bama, imo.

No, he's not.
ETA: Kid's a beast though and comes across as being extremely mature and disciplined(seems to be a theme with this incoming class), so while him coming in early would have been great, I still think he will see the field next season.

To me Jonathan looks a lot like CJ Mosely...he does look maybe a little stouter than CJ did coming out of Theodore High...if he matches or exceeds the excellence of CJ we have another 1st rounder.

“He was talking about how he likes guys who can play multiple positions so he doesn't have to rotate on third down.
I bet this is Coach Saban's strategy for the "hurry up" offenses, which prevent us from changing personnel.

Allen reminds me a lot of Nico. What a great find and looks to be a great player.

He's ALOT more explosive/athletic than Nico. Much closer to Hightower(maybe even more than him)

My thought exactly - I am sure CNS will be devising a strategy over the summer to deal with the increasingly popular "hurry up" offense that is starting to permeate even the SEC.....
