Top 100 prospect and outside linebacker recruit Markail Benton has narrowed his list down to his final three and both Alabama and Auburn have made the list.

According to 247Sports, Benton is the top prospect from the state of Alabama, the No. 3 outside linebacker and the No. 44 recruit in the nation. Benton also currently has offers from Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina, Clemson and Michigan. Benton will also be participating in the The Opening Finals this summer at Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

Possessing the speed to come off the edge and the instincts and open field tackling ability to excel in coverage, it’s easy to see from this highlight reel why Benton is one of the nation’s most coveted defenders:
