Alabama has a history of producing some of the nation’s best running backs. Players like Shaun Alexander, Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry are just a few of the all-time greats that once played in Tuscaloosa. The running back position seems to always have depth, and that is likely what the Alabama coaching staff is looking for in the 2024 recruiting class.
One of the running backs that the Crimson Tide are targeting is Bryan Jackson. On Thursday, he released his top-ten schools and Alabama was one of the schools that were listed. The offense is likely going to lose Jahmyr Gibbs to the NFL draft and there is also the possibility for Jase McClellan, Roydell Williams and Trey Sanders to enter the draft as well.
Nonetheless, the coaching staff will likely push to sign one to two running backs. In recent recruiting cycles, the Crimson Tide landed running backs Emmanuel Henderson and Jamarion Miller.
Jackson has a good frame for a junior and is already beginning to rise on different recruiting rankings. He has been on Alabama’s radar since receiving an offer in April.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Jackson’s recruitment as well as other Alabama football recruiting news.
