Alabama Football has no shortage of running backs. The four who got the most snaps in 2016 all return. Damien Harris, Bo Scarbrough and Josh Jacobs were impressive, each of them averaged over 6 yards per carry. In a limited role due to an early injury, B. J. Emmons also did quite well.
In the 2017 recruiting cycle it is not as though Alabama had a big need to fill. Alabama chose to add to the stable, adding Najee Harris and Brian Robinson. It will be some competition as the six running backs battle to be in the top three in the Tide’s 2017 rotation.
