Jam Miller getting ready for a big junior campaign
Jam Miller, an Alabama running back, is a well-liked breakthrough prospect who has the potential to be a huge star this autumn as he gets ready to take the lead in the Crimson Tide backfield. Although Miller may be the best-kept secret in all of college football, there are a number of reasons why Alabama fans are eager to watch him play.
Jam Miller, who has only seen 79 plays from scrimmage in his first two years on college, has plenty of tread left on his tires even though he is about to begin his junior season and become eligible for the draft. The Tyler, Texas, native has been a highly productive running back in certain situations, but he has always been Roydell Williams’, Jahmyr Gibbs’, and Jase McClellan’s backup.
Even as Miller moves into a starting-caliber job, he continues to be unnoticed by the general public. This is due to the fact that he is anticipated to share carries with rising sophomore Justice Haynes, a little more well-known player who was formerly a 5-star recruit. Despite having only 25 career carries, Haynes was recently selected by the SEC for its preseason all-conference team. Jam Miller, who was ahead of Haynes for the majority of 2023 and the entire spring, was not mentioned in the depth chart. Miller’s two touchdowns in the spring game even earned him A-Day MVP status.
Although it is anticipated that both of these backs will be used interchangeably this season, Haynes tends to garner more media attention. Miller is the workhorse this team needs, but Justice Haynes will undoubtedly be electrifying, in my opinion. Alabama can rely on him as a strong runner to relieve pressure off players like Haynes and quarterback Jalen Milroe.
Jam Miller is a blue-collar worker who prioritizes his career as a football player over becoming a running back. During his first two seasons in Tuscaloosa, he built a name for himself on special teams, turning in some huge hits and smart plays.
He may have a lunch pail attitude, but he also tends to make huge plays. Miller spearheaded the Tide.
