No. 4 – Asa Martin

The state of Alabama has some top running backs coming out from the class of 2018. No. 4 on this list is Asa Martin. He is a 5-foot-11.5, 195-pound recruit who is from Austin High School in Decatur, Alabama. He is listed as a four-star running back who is the No. 215 player in the class of 2018 and the No. 5 player in the state of Alabama.

Martin is a wanted player by many programs. He currently has 23 scholarship offers from a majority of power five conference programs. The list of teams to have offered this running back includes Alabama, Auburn and Florida.

The top-tier college programs are all over these talented running backs. In addition to these players being so good, they are also from the home state of some of these powerhouse teams. There is no way Martin leaves the state of Alabama and goes somewhere else.

Alabama is also recruiting Martin hard. They offered him a scholarship back in April when he was on an unofficial visit to the campus. The Crimson Tide then sent a coach over to visit Martin and to let him know he is a priority recruit for them.

The landing spot for Martin is pretty easy to predict. He is going to be running the ball under the leadership of Nick Saban in 2018. Alabama will continue to snag talented running backs, and they will continue winning on the football field.
