4-Star OL Javion Cohen Flips From Auburn to Alabama
The Alabama-Auburn rivalry seems like it's only going to get worse, especially after the Crimson Tide just stole one of the Tigers' recruits.
Javion Cohen, a senior 4-star offensive tackle, had originally committed to Auburn back in June and looked like he was going to be one of their top prospects in the future.

But due to increased pressure from the Tigers' in-state rival, the Alabama native officially switched his allegiance to the Crimson Tide on Wednesday.

There were rumors of Cohen making this switch for some time now, so it was only a matter of time before it became official.
Cohen is just a part of a stacked 2020 recruiting class for the Crimson Tide that includes top prospects such as dual-threat QB Bryce Young. The 5-star recruit also switched his commitment as he originally planned to go to USC.

With so much talent coming into the Crimson Tide program next season, they should bounce back from this slightly disappointing year for their standards.
