Alabama’s Nick Saban makes an entrance during recruiting visit

Alabama continues to dominate the college football world. Currently sitting pretty at No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings with an unblemished 13-0 record, outscoring opponents by an average of 28 points a game, and recently adding another SEC championship to its collection, it’s all fun times in Crimson Tide country. Of course Coach Nick Saban is the catalyst of this recent success.   

You can say Saban is one of the best coaches and recruiters in college football. But did we mention making entrances as well?

On Thursday the Alabama coach visited a recruit at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga., which is known to be a football factory. But what made this visit special was how Saban arrived.

Saban arrived in a helicopter and landed in the middle of the school’s football field.

Now that’s making an entrance, especially if you want to impress some of the best talent in the country.

Not everyone took kindly to the grand entrance. Former Auburn running back Brad Lester thought Saban was violating parking rules.

Of course the helicopter was never towed, but Saban could get the last laugh as Alabama is sitting at No. 1 right now in the 2017 recruiting class while rival Auburn is at No. 14, according to Rivals.com.
