Jam Miller is coming back. Alabama football’s starting running back will return to the Crimson Tide next season, he told reporters in Tuscaloosa on Thursday.
The Texas native is draft-eligible, and the news follows Justice Haynes, who split carries with Miller this season, heading to the transfer portal.
“Oh yeah, I’m staying,” Miller said. “I’m staying another year… I made that decision now, I’m not leaving this school at all.”
Miller finished the 2024 regular season with 641 rushing yards on 135 carries. He scored seven touchdowns on the ground, and another in the passing game, where he contributed 119 yards on 13 catches.
Miller is a junior, who took over at running back to the Crimson Tide this season, following Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams departing. He further explained the choice to come back for 2025.
“I love this whole coaching staff, even the players here,” Miller said. “It’s just the bond that we built with all the coaches, not only that, but with the head coach also, but it just felt like home for me.”
Miller and the Crimson Tide continued prep for the final game of the 2024 season, a matchup with Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl. That game is scheduled for Dec. 31 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, where it will kick off at 11 a.m. CT.
