Three Alabama Recruits Named 2015 Parade All-Americans

Central offensive lineman Lester Cotton is one of three Alabama commitments for the 2015 class that earned a spot on the Parade All-American Team. 

The Tuscaloosa native joined New Jersey defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick on the Honorable mention list, while Washington D.C. offensive lineman Richie Petibon received first team recognition. All three players participated in the 2015 Under Armour All-American game in January.

Alabama and Texas A&M currently lead the SEC with three Parade All-Americans, but all of the Aggies' recruits made the first team. Quarterback Kyler Murray, who reaffirmed his commitment to Kevin Sumlin's program, was named the player of the year. Parade honored a total of 56 players – 14 on offense, 13 on defense, and 29 Honorable Mentions.

The full list will be published in this week's issue of Parade, which you can find a copy of in your local newspaper.
