Alabama was well-represented in 2016-17ās third and final installment of the College Top247, which was released Sunday. After placing 14 players on the midseason list, the Crimson Tide duplicated that number with 14 players making the postseason cut.
Alabama (14-1, 8-0 SEC) led the country with 14 players on the final College Top247, and senior defensive end Jonathan Allen was the Tideās -- and nationās -- top-ranked playing at No. 1. Allen climbed nine spots from his midseason ranking of No. 10 and 11 from his preseason placement at No. 12.
Allen and fellow Alabama defender Reuben Foster (No. 5) are considered five-star players by 247Sports, as they are ranked among the top-26 players in the country. Foster was also ranked No. 5 in the midseason rankings but was No. 53 in the preseason version.
The other 12 players that were named to the third edition of the College Top247 are listed below, along with their difference in ranking from midseason to postseason College Top247:
27. LB Tim Williams (46, -19)
