It seemed to me to be largely based on timing. Wray visits Alabama and then subsequently opened up his recruitment. I haven't seen any legitimate information that states that Alabama is the favorite now but maybe it is wishful thinking on my part.
Named 2nd team Freshman All American by Max Preps. Bryn Tucker and Jake Wray named 1st team. The state of Tennessee is starting to put out blue chip lineman with regularity.

I think Stoops makes a move this year. I really think he needs a change in scenery. wouldn't be surprised if this recruitment opens back up down the road. Is he an EE?
