TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama will retain a key member of its backfield for the 2025 season. Crimson Tide junior running back Jam Miller is set to return to Alabama for his senior season.

"I made that decision now," Miller told reporters with a smile Thursday. "I'm not leaving this school at all.

Miller emerged as a top option in the Tide's backfield this season, rushing for 641 yards and seven touchdowns on 135 carries. Miller also caught 13 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown through the air. With his decision to return to the fold, Miller should be the Tide's lead option at running back in 2025.

"I love this whole coaching staff, even the players here," Miller said. "It's just the bond that we've built with all these coaches, not only that but with the head coach and it just feels like home for me."

Miller's decision is also a key win for the future of Alabama's offense lost one running back to the transfer portal in sophomore Justice Haynes. The Tide is also set to retain redshirt sophomore Richard Young along with redshirt freshmen Daniel Hill and Kevin Riley. Alabama also added four-star Akylin Dear in the Class of 2025.
