Alabama added to its 2025 recruiting class on Tuesday, flipping three-star running back Jace Clarizio from Michigan State according to Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports.

Clarizio had been committed to Michigan State since May 2024. Michigan State offered Clarizio his first collegiate offer in November 2023. He visited Alabama on November 7 and picked up an offer from the Crimson Tide on November 16, then flipped just 10 days later.

The 6-foot tall, 195-pound running back attends East Lansing High School in East Lansing, Michigan, less than 10 minutes from Spartan Stadium, home to the Michigan State Football team.

"One cut and go type of runner who shows enough burst and acceleration to get into open field. Shows vision and ability to find running lanes. Looks to have enough top end to run away from defenders on the high school level although there is currently not a reliable verified time on him. Can string plays to the outside and get the corner but can also run between the tackles. Has subtle wiggle and is a twitchy athlete. Above average size. Is not a true power back but shows balance and runs through contact at times although he is more adept at side-stepping and avoiding defenders than going through them. Solid receiver out of the backfield although that is something he can keep getting more reps at. All-around back with no real glaring deficiencies and should be a starter at the high-major level" said 247 Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu.

In 2023, Clarizio totaled 1,247 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns. he also added six catches for 88 yards and two receiving touchdowns in 2023.

Clarizio is ranked as the No. 493 overall prospect in the 2025 recruiting class and the No. 37 overall running back.

Alabama now has the No. 2 recruiting class in the country according to 247 Sports composite, only behind Georgia.
