Jackson 5-Star RB signs with Alabama

Ezavier Crowell has signed a National Letter of Intent to play football at the University of Alabama.

Crowell is a 2026 five-star recruit, who attends Jackson High School in Alabama. He has been an Alabama commitment since the summer, and his pledge has never wavered.

The five-star already weighs more than 200 pounds and can run a sub-11 100-meter dash with a reported 10.63 PR in the event, just a few milliseconds off Ryan Williams’ high school personal best of 10.55 and Jaylen Mbakwe’s 10.46. So, the moment Crowell steps on campus, he is going to be expected to be one of the fastest players on the Tide’s roster.

The five-star’s athleticism is also head-turning. He has been able to dunk a basketball since he was a freshman, and his impressive hops remain intact. A play he hurdled over a defender went viral earlier this season and made ESPN’s SportsCenter Top 10.

Ezavier Crowell flashed multiple aspects of his game in the first half and showed why he is considered a complete back.
