The University of Alabama will have one of the best backfields in the future for college football.

Anthony Rogers committed to the Crimson Tide’s 2025 signing class, but Tuesday brought more exciting news.

Akylin Dear, a talented four-star running back from Quitman (Miss.) High School, has now committed to the Tide.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder is one of the best backs in the recruiting cycle.

He possesses power between the tackles, explosiveness on the perimeter, and versatility in the passing game. After having two players flip to Auburn and one to Tennessee, Alabama fans are thrilled to land one of the nation’s top backs. 

Dear is the Tide’s 20th verbal committing and fans reacted with joy on social media.
