Alabama will return four running backs from the 2024 season. The two that saw the bulk of the carries last season are Jam Miller and Richard Young. While Miller is the presumed starter for 2025, there is reason to believe that Young can be a difference maker in Alabama’s offense.
The former five-star has patiently waited for his turn in Alabama’s backfield. The Florida native has been sparingly used over the course of his first three seasons in Tuscaloosa. His role should see a sizable increase in 2025, however.
When Young was given opportunities last season, he made the most of them.
