Two of the top linebackers in the country for the class of 2016 -- Lyndell "Mack" Wilson and Ben Davis -- reside in SEC country. Unfortunately for some conference programs, the aforementioned duo also live in Alabama's backyard.

Without question, Crimson Tide Nick Saban is prioritizing both Wilson and Davis as must-get recruits within this cycle.

Rivals.com has Davis rated as the No. 5 player in the entire country -- and the top player from the state of Alabama. Wilson is a speedy outside linebacker prospect with the ability to also slide inside if need be. He's rated No. 26 from a national standpoint.

Both Davis and Wilson are visiting other schools officially on the final weekend before signing day (Auburn and Florida, respectively).

It will be fascinating as to where these two elite prospects will ultimately end up. If both sign with Alabama, it could continue the long line of stellar linebackers to hail from the school.
