Alabama football’s four-star running back target, Akylin Dear is set to announce his commitment decision on Tuesday, Aug. 20.
Dear is a four-star running back out of Quitman High School in Mississippi. He will choose between Alabama, Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
The Crimson Tide have been very consistent in their push for Dear since Kalen DeBoer took over in Tuscaloosa. It was clear early on, the Crimson Tide’s running back coach Robert Gillespie would play a vital role in Dear’s recruitment as one of the stayovers from Saban’s coaching staff.
“They still at the top of my board because coach (Robert) Gillespie still there,” Dear told Touchdown Alabama in February.
