Back to the Alabama Crimson Tide Newsfeed

Jase McClellan back to old self, forms unique duo with Jahmyr Gibbs at running back for Alabama

He is back to being explosive after a knee injury, but it was good hearing him Thursday.

Jase McClellan, a junior running back, took the podium to address reporters.

He switched from No. 21 to No. 2 in the offseason and has looked great in fall practice. McClellan served as Alabama’s most versatile back in 2021, totaling three touchdown receptions before hurting his knee against Mississippi. The Crimson Tide took a step back in the passing game without him, and he endured a grueling rehab process. Coach Nick Saban told the media McClellan has returned to his old self.
