Alabama secured its highest-ranked commitment in the 2026 class Thursday when four-star rusher Ezavier Crowell, ESPN's No. 3 running back prospect and No. 2 recruit from the state of Alabama, announced his pledge to the Crimson Tide.
Crowell, No. 31 in the 2026 ESPN 300, is part of a talented core of elite prospects at reigning 4A state champion Jackson (Alabama) High School and has been a priority in-state target for the Crimson Tide and coach Kalen DeBoer this spring. He chose Alabama over Auburn, Florida State, Georgia and Texas following official visits with each program over the last month.
