Richard Young, the top-ranked running back in the country, committed to Alabama on Friday.
Young (Lehigh Senior High School, Lehigh Acres, Florida) is ranked No. 14 overall in the 2023 ESPN 300.
"To be the best, you gotta practice and compete against the best," he told ESPN.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Young ran for 1,755 yards and 19 touchdowns on 196 carries in 10 games as a junior in 2021. He is the 12th ESPN 300 prospect in the 2023 class to commit to the Crimson Tide.
It also continued a big week on the recruiting trail for Alabama.
