Alabama’s RB room in good shape even after Justice Haynes entering Transfer Portal

Alabama’s running back (RB) room remains strong despite Justice Haynes entering the transfer portal. While Haynes was a highly-touted recruit, Alabama has consistently maintained depth and talent at the position under Nick Saban’s leadership. The Tide still boasts an exciting group of young backs, including Jam Miller and Richard Young, both of whom are expected to take on larger roles in 2024.

Jam Miller, who had a limited role in 2023, is seen as a breakout candidate, while Richard Young’s development promises a strong future for Alabama’s ground game. The team also awaits a decision from Jase McClellan, their lead rusher from last season, who could return for another year.

Alabama’s running game has been a cornerstone of its offensive identity, and with a robust system of player development, the Tide is well-positioned to sustain their success. Justice Haynes’ departure opens up opportunities for other talented players to shine, ensuring the backfield remains a strength going forward.
