Alabama has offered Joshua Jacobs, running back from Tulsa, Okla., and expects to have him on an official visit Saturday, a source has confirmed to AL.com.

Jacobs burst onto the scene late in the recruiting process and is ranked as high as four stars in the 247Sports individual rankings. In the 247Sports composite rankings, the 5-foot-10, 200-pound Jacobs is ranked as the No. 10 all-purpose back in the country.

Jacobs also picked up late offers from the likes of Oklahoma, Iowa State and Missouri. He is officially visiting Missouri before heading to Alabama on Saturday.

Jacobs ran for 2,704 yards and 36 touchdowns as a senior for McLain Science and Tech High School.

Jacobs told the website SECCountry that he was "weighing his options."

Alabama is looking for a second running back in the class along with Morganton, N.C., four-star standout B.J. Emmons - who has not yet qualified.
