2026 4-star RB Javian Mallory announces commitment to the University of Miami

[305407cane]

Need to hold onto this kid
Imo and take two backs every year with the portal turnover at the position.

 

[DemCanes10]

Plan was always him and Cooper. Jae Lamar visits this weekend and is another big target.

Gladly take that switch, if this kid wants to commit please take it.

 

[Odysseus]

Dam

 

[Golsen82]

Doubt he sticks.

 

[TheU1984]

Damnit man. Never want to lose a ‘croot that already looks like he’s in his early 30’s.

Not concerned either way. Tons of RB with better skillset.

I doubt that very much. I have seen this kid in person at least 6 times and he is the real deal. Maybe a few running backs in the country and that's it that are better than him. It would be a tough loss. I hope we can keep him

 

[3FW]

I think this kid is better than where he is ranked. Hope he sticks.

He looks slow

He looks slow

He is NOT slow and a bruiser that delivers punishment.

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

Losing this kid would suck. He is going to be good. Him and Cooper is an excellent RB class

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

I’d probably bounce if the boogeyman was about to commit at my position, too.

Just get Cooper. We’ll be fine from there.

Wonder why he would be looking around ? More money ?

why it’s not like don’t use more than one rb

Still would be wack if he did. Doesn’t he know Bama had like 4 5* backs in the roster at 1 time before. There’s no easy path to success.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

He looks slow

And @DMoney addressed this fallacy on his podcast.

 

[millertime26]

I think he sticks. His family wants him close to home. He’s dealing with a weird situation.

Weird how?

If his goal is the NFL thats foolish, like Bama doesn’t have a stable full of top rated backs. Compete, compete, compete

While I don't entirely disagree with your thought process, Alabama is likely not bringing in a 5-star player at your position in your class like Miami likely is.

Running from competition is not exactly making the best possible decision for yourself.
