Jase McClellan puts Alabama’s offense on his back in victory over Austin Peay

Alabama football has one player that’s bringing the effort to finish strong.

Jase McClellan came to the Crimson Tide as a talented running back in the 2020 class from Texas.

He impressed fans with his speed as a freshman, but he’s grown into a complete back. McClellan stepped up last week against Mississippi, totaling 84 yards rushing in a 30-24 victory for the Tide. He turned in several tough runs where he refused to be tackled and sparked Alabama’s offensive line. The 5-foot-11, 212-pounder continued the passion at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday versus Austin Peay. Alabama looked sloppy offensively in the first half, but McClellan powered it to a 34-0 victory.
