Crowell Ready for Season Opener | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s five-star freshman running back EJ Crowell could make his debut this Saturday against East Carolina, just weeks after recovering from a nagging ankle injury. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb praised his progress, calling him “impressive” and comparing his recovery to Wolverine—showing no setbacks and even cutting on both feet. While head athletic trainer Jeff Allen holds the final say, Crowell is projected as the third-string back behind Daniel Hill and Kevin Riley. The Crimson Tide’s season opener kicks off at noon ET.
