1. Alvin Henderson, RB-Auburn

2025 four-star running back Alvin Henderson from Elba, AL (Elba) - Committed to Auburn

Alvin Henderson is coming off the most impressive season for an RB in Alabama History. The 4-star RB from Elba, AL, rushed for over 3,500 yards and accumulated 61 touchdowns on 225 carries. As a senior, He won the Gatorade Player of the Year in Alabama. Henderson ranked as the 210th player nationally and 15th at the RB position according to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.

He will join an Auburn backfield that loses Jarquez Hunter to the NFL. Auburn retained Jeremiah Cobb, who will start, and brought in Durell Robinson from UConn. Still, with a strong spring and fall camp, Henderson can attain playing time and potentially have a breakout season as Nate Frazier did with Georgia last year.

The Best Way to End the Scheduling Debate

Ousmane Kromah initially committed to Georgia early in his recruitment. However, following two official visits to Florida State in November, Kromah flipped his pledge to the Seminoles on December 4th. The 76th-ranked recruit and the 4th-ranked RB hails from Leesburg, GA, making this commitment a major out-of-state land for Mike Norvell and his struggling FSU team. Following , the Seminoles start 2025 at home with Alabama, giving Florida State a tough test to start the year. Former Alabama transfer Roydell Williams and Sophomore Kam Davis will lead FSU into spring. Still with a strong spring, Kromah can attain more playing time, allowing himself to impact the Seminoles 2025 season.

Can finally post this. FSU RB Ousmane Kromah is a super star IMO.

Watch these clips from his junior year and tell me they’re not some of the best highlights you’ve ever seen from a HS RB.

And then you remember the freakish physical traits (6’1 w/ 6’8 wing and 22.6 MPH Speed). pic.twitter.com/uvwBNO1FwX

3. Jeff Overton, RB-Virginia Tech

2025 four-star running back Jeff Overton from Alexandria, VA (Hayfield) - Committed to Virginia Tech

Jeff Overton is the highest-ranked recruit for Virginia Tech this cycle. Overton ranks as the 419th best recruit in the 2025 class and 14th at the RB position according to 247 Sports Composite Rankings. The 5’10.5″ 192-pound back hails from Alexandria, Virginia, making him a great in-state land for Brent Pry. Overton will enter an RB room with four players ahead of him on the depth chart, but with his four-star ranking and a solid spring, he can easily shoot up the depth chart and help Virginia Tech bounce back in 2025.
