Alabama: 5-star RB Cam Akers

Class: 2017

High School: Clinton High School (Clinton, Mississippi)

Size: 5'11", 212 lbs

Scout.com Ranking: No. 2 running back; No. 4 overall

The marquee matchup of the week features a showdown of Top 10 programs doing battle when No. 6 Texas A&M travels to Tuscaloosa to face No. 1 Alabama.

The Crimson Tide are expected to have a bevy of elite recruits in the stands for a game that could loom large in the playoff picture.

One of the most important names on that list is 5-star running back Cam Akers—who was once committed to the Tide before reopening his recruitment in March.

The trip to the Capstone marks the first official visit for the nation’s No. 2 running back and No. 4 player overall in the 2017 cycle. He’s also taken unofficial visits to Georgia and Ole Miss.

Florida State, LSU, Ohio State and Tennessee are also among the schools in the mix for Akers.

But the Tide will take a big swing this weekend in hopes of earning his pledge for the second time.
