Trio of Alabama signees named Gatorade Player of the Year for respective states

Alabama football’s five-star running back signee, Ezavier Crowell has been named the 2025 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Alabama.

Crowell joins the Crimson Tide’s five-star defensive back signee, Jireh Edwards, and Alabama’s four-star quarterback signee, Jett Thomalla, as winners of the award. Thomalla earned the award in Nebraska, and Edwards earned the award in Maryland. All three prospects signed with Alabama earlier this week.

Crowell has one more opportunity to add to a stellar senior season with Jackson set to play in the Alabama 4A State Championship on Friday.
