Alabama predicted to flip running back commit from Big Ten team

Could another flip be coming soon?

As the Early Signing Period approaches in early December, flip targets start to become clearer by the day for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Now a little over a week from flipping former Michigan Wolverines safety commit Ivan Taylor as well, the Crimson Tide have now been predicted to flip yet another commitment from a Big Ten program, this time coming in current Michigan State Spartans commit Jace Clarizio.

The prediction was made Monday night by 247Sports recruiting analysts Tom Loy and Brett Greenberg, with the two placing a crystal ball for the Crimson Tide to flip the Michigan State commit.

Clarizio, a native of East Lansing, Michigan, is considered as the nation’s No. 493 overall player in the 2025 class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings out of East Lansing High School in Michigan. A three-star running back, Clarizio also ranks as the nation’s No. 37 overall player at the position, as well as the No. 6 player in the state of Michigan.

The three-star has been committed to Michigan State since May of 2024, and will be a key name to watch for between now and the Early Signing Period.
