Sheffield was at Stanford for the Oregon game. 

As to Alabama offers.  Well they have offered 9 2019 QBs.    Not sure what an Alabama offer means.  Except certainly better than a non offer.    :)

I don't care about who Alabama offers at QB, OL, RB, TE, WR, LB, or DB that Stanford does.  I do care when Stanford lands Alabama-offered DL, because Stanford has historically struggled to recruit elite DL talent in the numbers needed, and Alabama churns out very good ones that lead top defenses, all the time.  Alabama, LSU, Clemson, and Florida State IMO are the gold standard for DL talent stamps of approval.

Stanford's most recent DL/DE commits all have offers from these programs. This is the company you must keep to compete on a national level on defense.  If Stanford can land Andres Fox, the last five guys taken in the front seven have offers from that quartet.  To me, that's a big deal.
