The recruiting saga of No. 1 overall prospect Najee Harris appears to be coming to a close with the star running back likely to remain committed to Alabama and not flipping to Michigan.
A person familiar with Harris’ plan said his mother asked U.S. Army All-American Bowl officials to switch Harris’ flight Sunday from San Antonio to Birmingham and the Army Bowl has complied. Harris, from Antioch, Calif., was initially scheduled to fly home to Oakland.
The person was not authorized to speak because Harris family’s request has not been made public.
Harris declined interview requests Thursday at practice for Saturday’s Army Bowl.
