Four-star running back Sam Adams II (247) included Alabama among his top six, the Sammamish (Wash.) Eastside Catholic product announced late Tuesday night.

Along with the Crimson Tide, Florida, Ohio State, Penn State, Texas A&M, and Washington made the cut.

An Aggies legacy, Adams II made a trip out to Tuscaloosa earlier this spring. Nick Saban offered him during his stay.

“It feels really amazing,” Adams II told BamaOnLine at the time. “It’s been a dream of mine for long, long time.”

Adams II says Saban sees more in him than maybe just playing the running back position.

“He kind of gave examples of how he recruits players and sometimes changes their position based on where he thinks they better fit,” Adams II said. “He told me how I can play running back and DB and that’s just useful for him, really. He likes to do that with players and experiment with them.”

At 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, Adams II is rated the No. 16 running back and the No. 174 overall player in the country per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

In an interview earlier this spring, Adams II said Bama will “definitely” get an official visit.
