Alabama flips Michigan State running back commitment to Crimson Tide

Alabama has flipped another Big Ten commitment.

After a prediction was logged last night, Michigan State Spartans running back commit Jace Clarizio has now officially flipped his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide, making the announcement Tuesday afternoon via a post on social media.

Clarizio had previously been committed to the Spartans since May of 2024, and was one of the highest-ranked members of Michigan State’s class.

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

Following the commitment of Clarizio, Alabama’s 2025 class now holds a total of 22 commitments, and ranks at No. 2 nationally. Clarizio is also the second running back in the Crimson Tide’s class, joined by four-star Akylin Dear.

The newest Alabama commitment is the fourth three-star prospect in Alabama’s 2025 class as well.
