Alabama is expected to only be able to sign 25 players this February, and following the recent Under Armour and US Army All-America all-star games, the first previous pledge to have his scholarship put on hold is North Atlanta’s Justin Taylor. The running back prospect committed to Alabama last February but was told by the Crimson Tide coaching staff that he will not be able to sign with Alabama this year. According to Michael Carvell, Taylor, who missed his senior season with a knee injury, was informed that he was the No. 26 player in a class of 25, despite pledging nearly one year ago. Taylor will stay in Georgia and rehab his injury and be ready to sign in 2013, according to the AJC.
Mount Pisgah’s Kyle Sloter has been tearing it up on the basketball court of late, but football is likely where the 6-foot-4 senior will make his impact at the next level.

According to Sloter’s father, Southern Miss offered the quarterback and several other schools have shown interest including Arkansas. The official visit was “a great time” for Sloter, though, and he is “still committed to them at this time.”
