Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Sadik Hossain | Last updated Jun 24, 2025 1:13 AM ET

Ezavier Crowell’s recruitment took a high-profile turn this week. The five-star running back visited Crimson Tide on an official stop and spent time with head coach Nick Saban.

The visit was shared publicly through a photo of Crowell and Saban standing together in front of a trophy-filled backdrop. Crowell was seen wearing a custom shirt with his name and image, signaling the personalized treatment Crimson Tide often shows its top targets.

The post was part of On3’s “Recruits on the Road” series, which tracks major recruiting visits. Crowell is one of the top running backs in the 2025 class. His visit to Tuscaloosa places Crimson Tide firmly in the mix.

The image and timing of the post point to a well-planned effort from Crimson Tide to showcase the program’s environment. The presence of Nick Saban in the photo underlines the significance of the visit. Crimson Tide has often featured Saban in photos with top-tier players as a way of signaling priorities.

There was no mention of a commitment timeline or where Crimson Tide currently stands among Crowell’s finalists. Still, with the official visit now complete, the Crimson Tide can likely expect to remain in contention.

This visit adds to a growing list of high-profile stops for Crowell. Programs continue to compete hard for him, and each visit builds clarity toward a final decision.

The post didn’t reference any other recruits or visits. The spotlight stayed on Crowell. That singular focus matches the profile of a player expected to be a foundational piece in whichever class he joins.
