5-star Alabama running back commit Najee Harris looks to be remaining just that – an Alabama commit, as the nation’s No. 1 overall player per the 247Sports Composite arrived in Birmingham on Sunday, per a source. Harris wasn't the only commit arriving at the time as 4-star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was alongside the elite back in the airport.

The Antioch (Calif.) product committed to the Crimson Tide in April of 2015 during an unofficial visit for A-Day, but has long maintained an open recruitment, entertaining interest from a number of other programs including Cal, Michigan, UCLA and USC. Over the course of the last six months it became clear that the Wolverines would pose the biggest threat to Alabama in holding onto its coveted commit.

Entering the U.S. Army All-American Bowl week, Harris told BamaOnLine in San Antonio he was undecided between the two programs with a decision to be made on Saturday following the Army Bowl on the field. Throughout the week, multiple developments occurred including Bama quarterback commit Tua Tagovailoa announcing he would be rooming with Harris in Tuscaloosa, as well as flying to Alabama with the 5-star back. Later it was reported by 247Sports that Harris’ flight destination from Texas was Oakland (home). After that report, Harris requested a flight change to Alabama — which 247Sports reported as well. While Harris did not announce a decision after the game, he did board a plane bound for the Yellowhammer State on Sunday.

Ultimately Nick Saban and staff held onto their top commit, behind the efforts of primary recruiter Tosh Lupoi, whose relationship with Harris was one the primary reasons the top back stuck with the Tide.

At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, Harris is rated the No. 1 running back and the No. 1 overall player in the country, per the 247Sports Composite.
