Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are slowly building momentum on the recruiting trail for the class of 2023. Currently, the Tide sits with just three commitments, but it’s likely Alabama will add more relatively soon.
Last Saturday’s A-Day game saw the Tide host several of the nation’s top prospects. One such player was five-star running back Richard Young from the state of Florida.
Since his trip to Tuscaloosa, the talented back has received a crystal ball from 247Sports Director of Football Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong.
Here is everything you need to know about Young and his recruitment.
