Several members of Alabama’s coaching staff have hit the recruiting trail in recent weeks to check in on recruiting targets.
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer, running backs coach Robert Gillespie, general manager Courtney Morgan, and defensive backs Maurice Linguist stopped by Forney High School to check in on 2026 running back target Javian Osborne.
Osborne plays for Forney High School in Forney, Texas. He is listed at 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds. As a junior, Osborne had 188 carries for 1,227 yards and 22 touchdowns.
He is regarded as one of the top running backs in the 2026 class. He recently released a top 10. Alabama was one of the schools that was listed as a finalist. Alabama is heavily pursuing Osborne, so it will be interesting to see how his recruitment plays out.
