Alabama $1.8 Trillion RB Top Key Player Returns For 2024 Final Season…

One of Alabama’s deepest position groups in 2023 was the running backs. The group was headlined by two seniors, and one of them plans to come back for a fifth season with the Crimson Tide.

Roydell Williams will use his final year of eligibility according to a report by TideIllustrated’s Tony Tsoukalas.

Williams was Alabama’s No. 2 back this season. He finished the year with 111 carries for 560 yards and five rushing touchdowns with another 56 yards and touchdown through the air. He had just one carry for -1 yard against Michigan in the Rose Bowl loss.

Fellow senior running back Jase McClellan could also come back for one more season, or will likely head to the 2024 NFL Draft.

As of Thursday afternoon, Alabama’s 2024 running back room will consist of junior Jam Miller, sophomores Justice Haynes and Richard Young and four-star freshman signee Kevin Riley out of Tuscaloosa County.

Saban also noted that a bad snap hindered the Crimson Tide’s disastrous final play in their Rose Bowl loss, in addition to a much-discussed sequence in the third quarter where bad snaps cost Alabama 19 yards in two plays. “It wasn’t a great snap … now you don’t have your eyes up, so it makes it harder (for quarterback Jalen Milroe) to make those kinds of cuts,” Saban said. “That’s something that’s been a little bit of an issue for us all year long.” “It wasn’t a great snap and that makes it harder for Jalen Milroe…….
