Since Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007, Alabama has had a lot of talented running backs to hand the ball off to. On Monday, the Crimson Tide added a possible future star from just down the road.
Brian Robinson, a running back from Hillcrest High in Tuscaloosa, verbally committed to his hometown team. He will join the Crimson Tide in the fall of 2017.
