Dec 6, 2024; Birmingham, AL, USA; Jackson's Ezavier Crowell (13) breaks a long touchdown run on the Aggie’s first possession against Cherokee County at Protective Stadium in the AHSAA 4A State Championship game.

Alabama landed a commitment from four-star recruit Ezavier Crowell, the No. 2 running back in the Class of 2026.

The Jackson, Ala., native committed to the Crimson Tide on Thursday over offers from Auburn, Texas and Georgia.

He'll be joined in the class by one of the top 100 recruits in the country and No. 6 overall tight end, Mack Sutter. Sutter, a multi-sport athlete from Dunlap, Ill., had interest from many college football powers in the past two years. He caught seven TD passes as a junior last season.

Crowell led Jackson High to a Class 4A state championship last season, rushing for 1,964 yards and 31 touchdowns.

He ranks No. 33 overall and No. 3 in the state of Alabama, per the 247 Sports composite.

Crowell, who reclassified from the 2027 class in January, ran for 1,737 yards as a 2023 freshman at Jackson HS.
