Blazers on a roll
Mobile (Ala.) Vigor cornerback Ellis Lankster was virtually unheard of in recruiting circles going into his senior season, but a big senior season ignited the interest of several schools and now he has a scholarship and a commitment in hand.
"I committed to UAB," Lankster said. "I just felt like it was the best place for me. It is close to home and I feel like I can be part of something special there. It was really just the best fit for me over all."
