BREAKING: Alabama Crimson Tide Bolsters Future with Key Commitments in Running Back Room
While the transfer portal continues to shape college football headlines, the Alabama Crimson Tide received a welcome update amidst recent challenges. Former 2023 five-star recruit Justice Haynes announced his entry into the transfer portal after two seasons with the program. However, the Crimson Tide found reassurance in fellow running back Jam Miller’s decision to stay put.
Miller, a key contributor to Alabama’s offense, confirmed his commitment to the team and his readiness to compete as a lead back in 2025. “Yeah, I’m staying,” Miller stated, emphasizing his intent to play another year with the Tide. His decision not only secures depth for Alabama’s running back room but also gives him the opportunity to further develop and enhance his NFL Draft prospects.
This past season, Miller emerged as Alabama’s second-leading rusher behind dual-threat quarterback Jalen Milroe. With 641 yards from scrimmage, a solid 4.7 yards-per-carry average, seven touchdowns, and flashes of receiving potential, the 5’10”, 218-pound back has shown his versatility and reliability.
Initially rated as a four-star recruit and the fourth-best running back nationally in his class, Miller is poised to take on an even more prominent role. Fans can expect him to shine as the Crimson Tide’s workhorse back in the upcoming ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan on New Year’s Eve, setting the stage for a pivotal season ahead.
