Nick Saban appears to be hovering around Tuscaloosa this weekend with Ezavier “EJ” Crowell sharing a photo of him and the former Alabama head coach.

Crowell is a 2026 five-star running back out of Jackson High School in Alabama. He is currently officially visiting the Crimson Tide ahead of a decision announcement this month. He will choose between Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia and Texas.

The Crimson Tide’s coaching staff has been recruiting Crowell for well over a year.

“Growing up, used to watch them a lot,” Crowell said while previously discussing the Tide. “It is definitely a top school for me. I see myself playing in Crimson soon. But it comes down to how they would develop me as a person, player and everything else.”
