Former 5-star RB for Alabama changes jersey number ahead of 2024 season
Gary Cosby Jr.-USA TODAY Sports

Alabama football fans have another number change it has to get used to for the upcoming season.

Richard Young, a redshirt freshman running back, wore No. 25 last season.

The native Floridian had 24 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine attempts through three games in 2023. He had a very good spring and recorded a rushing touchdown on A-Day at Bryant-Denny Stadium, but Young has switched things up for the fall. 

According to his Instagram, he has changed his number to No. 9.

Young wore No. 9 at Lehigh Senior High School in Lehigh Acres, Fla. He was one of the dominant players in the 2023 recruiting cycle as a five-star, owning the competition in his junior and senior seasons. Crimson Tide fans are excited to see what Young does in the fall.
