Alabama lands 5-star running back recruit.

Year in a year out, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide churn out a slew of NFL talent. This is the product of countless top-ranked recruiting classes filled with the best high school football players in the country.

The Tide always seemingly have the next great running back in the pipeline, and while Heisman candidate Najee Harris will be making his way to the NFL in April's draft, it seems Bama may have found their next great running back of the future already.

On Saturday, Alabama officially got a commitment from 5-Star running back recruit Emmanuel Henderson.
