Elite 5-Star Running Back’s Commitment Date Revealed—Could Alabama Finally Seal the Deal?

Recruiting season has us all on the edge of our seats once again, and this time, the spotlight’s burning brighter on a certain Ezavier Crowell—a name that’s been buzzing around Alabama’s camp with considerable excitement. This in-state running back phenom isn’t just another prospect; he’s one of the crème de la crème in the 2026 class, a four-star dynamo ranked No. 2 among running backs nationwide and sitting comfortably at No. 33 overall. Now, here’s the kicker: Crowell has nailed down an official commitment date—June 26. By then, he’ll have weighed options from six powerhouse programs, including Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Texas, and of course, Alabama, where he’s already made waves playing for Jackson High School.

Keep your eyes peeled; this announcement could shift the recruiting tide in a major way. LEARN MORE
