Coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide staff finally grabbed a running back for the class of 2016 when four-star running back B.J. Emmons gave Alabama his verbal commitment. According to John Garcia of Scout, Emmons actually committed to the Tide staff last week.
Emmons becomes Alabama’s 18th commit for the 2016 class.
He got his Alabama offer in May and decommitted from the University of Georgia. Tennessee was also in the running for his services. The Volunteers held 88-percent of his crystal ball predictions on 247Sports.
Tosh Lupoi was Emmons’ recruiter of record for the Tide with running back coach Burton Burns listed as well.
