One of the most sought after running backs and players for the recruiting class of 2014 announced tonight that he is committed to the University of Alabama, according to a reporter for The Crimson White.

Bo Scarbrough of Northridge High in Tuscaloosa, said after his team's 23-15 win over Hillcrest, that he plans on playing his college ball just down the road for Nick Saban.

His reason?

A chance to play alongside current Tide running back and freshman sensation T.J. Yeldon and behind a dominant offensive line.

Scarbrough, 6-foot-2, 218 pounds, is considered a 5-star prospect by recruiting services and chose Alabama over offers from Georgia, Auburn, Clemson, Arkansas, Florida State and Michigan.
