Alabama Football Recruiting: Crimson Tide picks up another Top Running Back

This past week was a big recruiting week for the Crimson Tide. The Football Camp/High School Session II was held July 13-16 concluding with a "Champions Cook Out" for special invited 2016 and 2017 prospects.

During this time, Alabama received a commitment from one of the nation's top five running backs, B.J. Emmons. Some may compare him to Mark Ingram but at 5-11 and somewhere between 225-230 lbs, he is a little bigger than the 2009 Heisman winner. In size, he may compare more to Eddie Lacy. Emmons is a powerful back who doesn't try fancy jukes.
