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.

The worst kept secret was Dear coming to Bama. Glad it’s finally happened though. Guy is a stud.
