College Football Podcast: Will top QB recruits stick to their commitments?

Will new Alabama commit Tua Tagovailoa and other top quarterback recruits stick to their pledges? Recruiting experts Brian Dohn and Chris Johnson join the SI College Football Podcast to discuss the biggest topics in recruiting after the spring.

Top-five quarterback recruit Tua Tagovailoa committed to Alabama on Monday night, giving a huge boost to the Crimson Tide's 2017 recruiting class. But with nine months until National Signing Day, what are the odds Alabama can hang on to the four-star prospect from Hawaii? And which other elite QB prospects look like they might flip on their early commitments?

Brian Dohn of Scout.com and Chris Johnson of SI.com join host Zac Ellis on the SI College Football Podcast to break down the biggest topics in recruiting. They analyze the impact of five-star Demetris Robertson's pledge to Cal, whether Maryland could be set for a program-changing class, where top-ranked QB Tate Martell will ultimately end up and more.
