Alabama signed 22 of its 26 commitments during the early signing period on Wednesday. To give fans a chance to get to know the newest Crimson Tide members, we are doing a series of overviews with each of the 2020 signees.
Next up on the list, four-star running back Jase McClellan, a former Oklahoma commit.

Where does he fit in? McClellan was an excellent late addition on National Signing Day for Alabama. The longtime Oklahoma commit is an extremely talented running back with chance to emerge as a future Day 1 or 2 pick for the NFL.
It will be interesting to see how the running back depth chart shakes out. Najee Harris is more than likely gone, but the top two spots should still be owned by Brian Robinson Jr. and Trey Sanders, respectively.
McClellan wasn’t the only talented running back added in the 2020 class either. Four-star prospect Roydell Williams out of Hueytown (Ala.) and underrated three-star Kyle Edwards out of Destrahan (La.) will both be in the mix as well.
It’s very possible that we see Alabama return to a three, maybe even four-back rotation.
