5. 4-star RB BJ Emmons

Height/Weight: 5'10", 232 pounds

High School: Freedom High School; Morganton, North Carolina

247Sports Ranking: No. 3 RB; No. 110 overall

Bleacher Report Score: 94/100

Committed to Alabama on July 20, 2015

The jumbo back still exists, and B.J. Emmons is one of the best in his class. Emmons once was committed to Georgia but decommitted June 11. Emmons is an Alabama commit, but Tennessee is a school to watch for his services as February approaches. Look for the Crimson Tide to stay well connected with the burly back throughout the fall.

Bleacher Report Analysis

Emmons, in short, is a load to bring down. He runs with power and a purpose. What makes him such a difficult matchup is that when he's in the open, he has a second gear. Emmons is a big-body back who will help a program get the short yard. He also is a solid blocker and a good option for catching passes out of the backfield.
