Alabama RB growing in confidence at right time in CFP push

Alabama football is in the second half of its season with a Southeastern Conference Championship and a College Football Playoff opportunity still alive.

The Crimson Tide’s offense is explosive, but it needs to put all its strengths together in order to become a championship team. Alabama has seen good things from Jam Miller and Justice Haynes in its running back room, but a third player is growing in confidence at the right time.

Richard Young, a redshirt freshman, arrived as a five-star from Florida in the 2023 recruiting class.

He has encountered some injuries, but Young is fully healthy at the right time and is starting to wear down opponents late in games.
