Alabama was able to keep one of Tuscaloosa’s own in town for the next three to four years during the early signing period. 2024 running back Kevin Riley flipped his commitment from Miami to Alabama. The four-star running back signed his national letter of intent with the Crimson Tide.
Riley had been committed to Miami since June. He was considered to be locked in leading up to his official visit to Alabama over the weekend. After his three-day stay on Alabama’s campus, things began to change.
Riley is the first running back in the ’24 recruiting class to have signed with Alabama.
The Crimson Tide have been very high on Riley for quite a while. During his junior season at Tuscaloosa County High School, he rushed for 1,306 yards and 11 touchdowns. He battled injuries during his senior season, so he was limited to an extent. Nonetheless, he should be healthy and ready to go when he arrives on Alabama’s campus.
