Alabama is in the top six for Rosenberg (Texas) Lamar Consolidated running back Brandon Campbell's top six, the four-star ball carrier announced on Monday.

The other five teams in the mix include: Florida, LSU, Penn State, USC, and TCU, in no particular order.

Campbell last visited Tuscaloosa for the LSU game and has consistently raved about the Crimson Tide since the program offered in January.

“I feel like at this point it’s really big for me,” Campbell told BamaOnLine of the UA offer. “Just Alabama’s tradition. I went to the campus twice. I did a camp there in the summer and I went to the LSU game and got to see Alabama’s atmosphere. I like everything I saw. Just really their tradition is second to none.”

Nick Saban has compared the Texas back to a former Alabama great.

“When Coach Saban saw me in person for the first time he said I have a similar build to Josh Jacobs at this time in his recruiting," Campbell said. "He said basically I’m similar to him in some ways and that really impressed him. Also when he saw me in the summer he was impressed with my ability to open up and run and catch out of the backfield.”

At 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, Campbell is rated the No. 22 running back and the No. 325 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Campbell has a verified 4.58 40-yard dash to go along with a 36-inch vertical.

Here's 247Sports' eval of Campbell, via regional analyst Gabe Brooks:

"Typical running back build with above average bulk relative to average height. Not the frame of a big back but enough space to get to 200-plus with relative ease. Athletic playmaker with impressive verified speed and agility (4.58 40, 4.07 shuttle). Shows good burst when he decides to plant and go. Limited pass-catching opportunities out of the backfield have been encouraging, particularly downfield. Shows enough close-quarters wiggle to make a defender miss. A bit hesitant at times. Can become a more decisive runner and set up blocks better. Bona fide Power 5-caliber running back prospect among the best in Texas in a strong cycle at the position."

Alabama signed an impressive running back haul in the 2020 cycle that included four-star Jase McClellan, who flipped from Oklahoma on Early Signing Day, four-star, in-state standout Roydell Williams, and three-star Louisiana product Kyle Edwards. The loaded haul adds even more depth to a running back room that has Najee Harris and Brian Robinson returning in 2020 to go along with Trey Sanders and Keilan Robinson. With the amount of talent on hand in Tuscaloosa, it's possible the Tide looks to only sign one running back in 2021.
