🔥 JUST IN from Tuscaloosa: Nick Saban Confident 5-Star RB Ezavier “EJ” Crowell Will Commit to Alabama After Explosive Visit — Tide Surge Ahead of Auburn, FSU & Texas
Tuscaloosa, AL — The recruiting trail is heating up, and Nick Saban may have just taken a commanding lead in one of the biggest battles of the 2025 cycle. After hosting 5-star running back Ezavier “EJ” Crowell for an eye-opening visit, the legendary Alabama coach has expressed strong confidence that the elite prospect is on the verge of committing to the Crimson Tide.
Crowell, widely regarded as the top running back in the class, has been weighing heavy interest from Auburn, Florida State, and Texas — but insiders say today’s visit to Tuscaloosa may have sealed the deal.
> “I think he saw what makes this place different,” Saban told local reporters. “EJ’s a special talent — and we believe he belongs in crimson.”
Crowell’s visit included time with Alabama’s current stars, a deep dive into the Tide’s player development pipeline, and a private sit-down with Saban, where sources say the coach emphasized both legacy and opportunity.
The 6’0”, 210-pound back possesses a rare mix of vision, power, and acceleration, drawing comparisons to past Alabama greats like Derrick Henry and Najee Harris. His ability to take over games and rack up yards after contact has made him a can’t-miss target for top programs.
Following the visit, Crowell posted a cryptic message on social media:
“One word: Home.”
Recruiting experts now predict Alabama as the clear front-runner. A commitment could come within days, and if it does, the Tide will have landed a program-changing offensive weapon.
