The running back recruitment scene for Alabama is heating up, with a few standout names making waves. Among them are three-star prospects Nigel Newkirk from Gainesville, GA, and Trey Martin from Winnsboro, LA. Both players have circled their calendars for a return to campus during spring practice and have also scheduled official visits.
Alabama's running backs coach, Robert Gillespie, is on the hunt for powerful rushers to bolster the lineup in Tuscaloosa. One name that’s gaining traction is three-star Kylan Bobo from Tupelo, MS.
Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 200 pounds, Bobo is no stranger to the Alabama campus, having visited several times over the years. His latest visit was for Junior Day last month, shortly after Gillespie made a trip to see him at Tupelo High School during the Winter Contact Period.
While Bobo hasn’t received an offer yet, it seems like it could be just around the corner. Another visit to Alabama, planned for next month, might be the catalyst for that offer. Keep an eye on this developing story as the recruitment process unfolds.
