Alabama’s next marquee running back could come from Montgomery area

One city that Alabama football head coach Nick Saban must keep a firm grip on in recruiting is Montgomery, Ala. With it producing big names like Shaun Dion Hamilton (Carver), Lyndell “Mack” Wilson (Carver) and Henry Ruggs III (Lee), the area is full of division one talent.

Aside from 2014, Saban has managed to land a marquee running back prospect in each signing class he’s brought in. Some players that Crimson Tide fans hold near to their heats include Mark Ingram (2009 Heisman Trophy winner), Derrick Henry (2015 Heisman winner), Trent Richardson, Jalston Fowler, Eddie Lacy, T.J. Yeldon, Kenyan Drake and Bo Scarbrough.
