Friday brought some big news for the Alabama football program with five-star running back signee Bo Scarbrough getting academically cleared to enroll at the Capstone in January. The Tuscaloosa native was one of two 2014 Tide signees who didn't enroll by the fall semester.

"Yes it is (true). He's very excited about it," said Scarbrough's mother, Donetris. "Roll Tide!"

Nick Saban last addressed Scarbrough's status at the beginning of fall camp saying, "We have an appeal in place because is very close to qualifying...Our goal is to get him here in January."

Scarbrough, who is a native of Tuscaloosa, played his senior season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder was one of six 247Sports Composite five-star prospects to sign with the Tide in the 2014 class. He ranked as the no. 16 overall prospect, no. 2 athlete, and no. 2 senior in the state of Florida according to the 247Sports Composite.
