The waiting period is over for Alabama five-star true freshman running back EJ Crowell. After an injury limited his participation in spring practices, Crowell finally got the training wheels off Wednesday and was a full participant as the Crimson Tide opened fall camp. Kalen DeBoer says Alabama 5-Star true freshman RB EJ Crowell is already looking as good as advertised early in fall camp“He did some nice things. That early endorsement carries plenty of weight considering what Crowell showed at Jackson High last fall, where he led the entire state of Alabama with over 2,094 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns. DeBoer also continued his praise by teasing his belief that Crowell could become a legitimate weapon out of the backfield.
