SAN ANTONIO – On Wednesday, Alabama quarterback commit Tua Tagovailoa told 247Sports that he would be on the same flight as 247Sports Composite No. 1 prospect Najee Harris to Birmingham at the completion of the Army Bowl. That news seemed to indicate Harris' intention to enroll at Alabama in January, effectively ending his recruitment.

In the latest turn in what's been a dizzying few months of tracking Najee's every movement, 247Sports has since learned from two sources that Harris' departing flight from San Antonio actually has Oakland — his hometown — as its final destination. Both sources have knowledge of the logistics of Harris' travel plans to and from the Army Bowl.

The new information on Harris' flight plans comes following a week during which Harris has declined to provide a final answer on his college intentions. He has instead indicated that he would simply show up at the school of his choosing, presumably Michigan or Alabama where he is currently committed to, as an early enrollee. At one point in the week, Harris suggested he'd shout out his final school at the end of the Army Bowl. He later said he wouldn't do that.

Harris' Antioch High School coach John Lucido, a guest coach at the Army Bowl, told 247Sports this week he thought Harris would need to fly home and pack, as he was barely packed for a week in San Antonio, let alone a semester of college.

As part of the invitation to play in the Army Bowl, travel is paid for, with a departing flight to anywhere of the player's choice. For instance, five-star QB Hunter Johnson is flying straight to Clemson, where he'll enroll early. On the flip side, colleges are not permitted to fund the player's trip to school; whenever Harris decides where he wants to go, he'll pay for that his own way.

Harris' decision to fly home to pack up for college leaves both Michigan and Alabama very much in play for the five-star prospect.

Early-enrollees have already arrived at Alabama. Classes start Jan. 11. Classes have begun at Michigan. The Wolverines have three early-enrollees in San Antonio who will start classes in Ann Arbor once they arrive.

At 6-foot-2, 224 pounds, Harris has looked the part as the nation's No. 1 running back this week at Army Bowl practices, showcasing good hands out of the backfield, sharp change of direction and power.

Whoever gets him — and we'll eventually know, with likely a few more speed-bumps along the way — is getting a star.
