šŸ’¬ A good question from BamaCentral- who is the biggest-name athlete at Alabama following Tua Tagovailoa?

The question didn't say talked about. I agree with Montana being the biggest name. Second choice would be Smitty #6.

Maybe there's something I am missing, but a Sophomore softball pitcher #1 over the #1 football recruit in the country coming back his senior year. One that just had over 1,500 yards of offense? And I know Fouts, watched her all of last year, so she's not a no name to me, but I can't imagine she's the #1 name associated with Alabama athletics after Tua.
 
Here's one way to look at it, Instagram followers.

Najee Harris ~175k
Bryce Young ~68.6k
Mac Jones ~59.6k
DeVonta Smith ~56.1k
Dylan Moses ~26.8k
Montana Fouts ~23.3k
Kira Lewis ~14.8k



Deontay Wilder ~2.5m
Justin Thomas ~843k
Tua Tagovailoa ~543k

I look at it as status in the sport. Najee is good but he's not the #1 RB in America. Montana's status in her sport is much higher than Najee in his.

How do you measure that? They both had stature out of high school and they both just had the best year of their careers (understanding she was a Freshman). Football is king plus some compared to softball, so I still can't wrap my mind around that concept. Guess I'll just accept it on my inability to see past what I am basing my opinion on.
