East Lansing’s Jace Clarizio runs for a gain against DeWitt during the second quarter on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, at East Lansing High School. Running back Jace Clarizio flipped his commitment from his local team, Michigan State, to Alabama.
The decision, announced by Clarizio on social media Tuesday, comes after the East Lansing (Mich.) High standout visited head coach Kalen DeBoer’s Crimson Tide on Nov. 16.
“Great program,” Clarizio told On3. “Playing on the biggest level. … All the people and coaches I met and interacted with were all great people. The atmosphere was crazy.”
The 5-foot-11, 195-pounder is ranked as the No. 33 running back by On3 and tabbed No. 35 in their industry ranking.
In May, he had verbally committed to the Spartans, where his father, Craig Johnson, was a running back and defensive back who was a member of the 1987 Rose Bowl-winning squad under coach George Perles.
