The rich get richer and richer. Alabama is heading to the College Football Playoff with an undefeated record and the number 1 seed. The Tide is also approaching recruiting class # 1 in 2021. This search was most likely on Wednesday night, when Camar Wheaton, player # 26 overall and # 2 overall running back in this season’s recruiting cycle, committed to Alabama over Oklahoma and others.
Wheaton is a 5-foot 11-pound, 190-pound man from Lakeview Centennial High School in Garland, Texas. The five-star prospect has 3,731 run yards and 48 run touchdowns during his four-year high school football career.
Gabe Brooks, 247Sports midland regional recruiting analyst, filled out this benchmark report and compared Wheaton to Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Ronald Jones II.

The search for the most important recruitment class in the country still goes through Tuscaloosa. Wheaton’s commitment to Crimson Tide extends his leadership over the state of Ohio in the race for the nation’s No. 1 class. Wheaton is the seventh five-star potential customer to sign or commit to the program during this recruitment cycle.
