Multiple sources have confirmed Alabama football’s freshman running back, Justice Haynes is putting in work during Alabama football’s spring practices.
Haynes signed with the Crimson Tide in December as a five-star recruit out of Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. He enrolled in January as an early enrollee. The Tide had its first scrimmage of the spring Friday, and Haynes was a standout.
“Justice went crazy today,” One source said. “He scored three times on two explosive plays.”
Another source pointed out Haynes was a top performer, stating he played ‘really well.’
Saban was very complimentary of Alabama’s running back group as a whole after the Tide’s first scrimmage.

“It’s been great, I mean all guys have done well, all four guys have had really good springs they’re all very productive players. All those guys can contribute to the team in some ways”, said Nick Saban at Friday’s media availability. ‘I mean doing really well as long as we can stay healthy at that position, I don’t think that’s an issue on our team.”
Alabama lost its leading rusher, Jahmyr Gibbs, at the conclusion of last season. Gibbs finished the year with 1,370 all-purpose yards.
The Tide’s running back room brings back experience, which should help replace Gibbs’ production. Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams are the veterans of the group and are the expected leaders. Haynes and Jam Miller round out this group nicely for the spring.
