Alabama football has a new running back target on its 2023 recruiting board in fast-rising prospect, Dontavius “DJ” Braswell.

Braswell is a junior running back at Washington County High School in Sandersville, Georgia. He has pulled in 12 D1 offers since January. Alabama football became the first SEC school to offer Braswell Saturday during its Junior Day.

“Coach Saban told me face to face,” Braswell said. “Alabama has been a great program, and I would love to be a part of that. I was impressed with how coach Saban explained I could help myself on and off the field just in case my plans do not go right.”

The Crimson Tide are the 15th program to offer the Georgia product. Braswell said he feels the Tide’s offer puts them in a great position within his recruitment.

“They are at the top of my recruitment right now because I know what they do for many players,” Braswell told Touchdown Alabama.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder is a dynamic prospect who possesses elite speed. He holds a PR of 10.75 in the 100-meter dash and a PR of 22.02 in 200-meter dash. His speed and elusiveness make him a threat to score every time he touches the football.”

Saban told the new Alabama target he was impressed with his acceleration and his vision.

“He said he likes my quickness, my ability to get to my top speed fast and my vision,” said Braswell. “I feel like I can read the game well, use my speed as an advantage and be able to move quickly in and out of holes.”
