Alabama football lost a commitment on early signing day.
Jace Clarizio , a three-star running back out of East Lansing, Michigan, flipped back and signed with Michigan State from the Crimson Tide , per On3. He flipped his initial commitment from the Spartans to the Crimson Tide Nov. 26.
Clarizio reported an Alabama offer Nov. 7 and held an official visit with the Crimson Tide during its Nov. 16 win against Mercer.
Clarizio is the No. 493 player in the 2025 class per 247Sports' composite rankings and the No. 37 running back in the country.
A 6-foot, 190-pound back out of East Lansing High School, had 1,247 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior in 2023 per MaxPreps. He added two touchdown receptions on six catches for 88 yards.
Clarizio was in an Alabama class that already has a difference maker in four-star Akylin Dear, the No. 2-ranked running back in the 2025 class and the No. 45 player overall.
