Alabama Crimson Tide Lands Top Running Back Prospect Jace Clarizio
In a stunning recruiting coup, the Alabama Crimson Tide has secured the commitment of highly touted running back Jace Clarizio. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound standout from East Lansing (Mich.) High had previously verbally committed to Michigan State, his father’s alma mater.
However, after visiting Alabama on November 16, Clarizio was swayed by the Tide’s prestigious program, electric atmosphere, and the opportunity to compete at the highest level. As he expressed to On3, “Great program… Playing on the biggest level… All the people and coaches I met and interacted with were all great people. The atmosphere was crazy.”
Clarizio’s impressive skills on the field have earned him a No. 33 ranking among running backs by On3 and a No. 35 industry ranking. His commitment is a significant boost to Alabama’s recruiting class, further solidifying the Tide’s reputation as a powerhouse program.
The young running back’s decision to join the Crimson Tide marks a new chapter in his athletic journey. As he trades in his Spartan green for Alabama crimson, Clarizio is poised to make a lasting impact in Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide!
