Alabama recently landed a top four-star running back out of the state of Texas for its 2020 recruiting class in Jase McClellan. Now, it looks like the Tide is after another for 2020.
On Tuesday night, Jaydon Blue out of Houston announced via his Twitter account that Alabama had extended an offer, and the news came on the same day that he had earned a four-star rating from Rivals.com:

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Blue is rated as the No. 80 overall prospect for the 2022 class, while also checking in as the No. 7 running back and No. 11 player from the state of Texas.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound runner also holds offers from other major programs such as LSU, Georgia and Texas, but expect that list to continue to grow throughout the summer, especially if the coronavirus starts to let up and a few camps still happen.
Here is what 247Sports prospect analyst Gabe Brooks had to say about Blue back in October of 2018:
Adequate size with above average build. Flashes great initial burst and acceleration. Hits the hole hard and gets downhill in a hurry. Produced strong numbers as a sophomore against Texas 6A competition. More slasher than juker but shows above average foot quickness in the hole. Agile enough to make defenders miss at the second level. Slippery strong vs. arm tackles. Good top-end speed backed by 10.97 100 as a freshman. On-field speed may be still catching up to track times. Can finish runs more consistently. One of Texas’ top running backs in the 2022 class.
