Alabama lost another 5-star recruit on Sunday after wide receiver Jaime Ffrench decommitted from the Crimson Tide, per On3's Hayes Fawcett.
Ffrench is the second 5-star wide receiver to decommit from Alabama since legendary head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement on Wednesday. The Tide also lost Ryan Williams on Saturday.
Ffrench, who hails from Jacksonville, Florida, is considered to be the No. 11 player nationally, the No. 3 wide receiver and the No. 2 player in the state of Florida, according to 247Sports composite.
Before committing to Alabama, Ffrench also considered Florida State, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Penn State.
Along with Ffrench and Williams, Alabama has also lost a handful of players to the transfer portal already, like tight end Amari Niblack, who announced his departure on Sunday. The Tide will look to retain some key players, but the decomittments and transfers were bound to happen with Saban's departure.
Luckily for Tide fans, Alabama has a new high-level coach leading it. The Tide hired former Washington head coach Kalen Deboer on Friday just days after Saban retired. Deboer lost just three games during his time at Washington, losing last week's College Football Playoff title game to Michigan.
Deboer has big shoes to fill, but he'll be looking to keep Saban's tradition of success alive.
