Meet AK Dear, Alabama’s freshman running back, a human highlight reel shrink-wrapped in a No. O jersey

Meet AK Dear, Alabama’s freshman running back, a human highlight reel shrink-wrapped in a No. O jersey that screams trouble for anyone trying to corral him.

Straight out of Quitman, Mississippi, where the air’s thick with grit and the fields breed tough SOB’s, this dude’s got legs like coiled springs, ready to explode through gaps or bounce outside.

Lane Kiffin went all in on AK, originally securing his commitment before the Tide ultimately came calling.

Picture it: he cuts left, plants a foot, and BOOM, he’s gone, leaving defenders grasping at humid air, their dignity in the dust. Strength? He’s a bulldozer in cleats, plowing through tacklers like they’re made of wet paper. Speed? Call it lightning in a bottle, uncorked and uncontainable. Spring practice is his proving ground, and if he unleashes that raw, electric juice under Kalen DeBoer’s watch, the SEC better brace itself. This isn’t just a backfield addition. This is a Category 5 storm brewing in crimson. Buckle up, friends and enemies. AK Dear’s about to make some noise.
