The Alabama recruiting machine never stops as the Crimson Tide added its fourth member to the 2025 recruiting class.

Anthony Rogers, a four-star running back out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, by way of Pike Road, Alabama, has announced his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Rogers, listed at 5-foot-8, 185 pounds is rated as the No. 1 running back prospect in the 2025 class and the No. 33 overall prospect in the class.

"I've always liked Alabama since my first visit. I just felt like it was the place for me to be and I felt like it was time for me to make that decision," Rogers said to Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports.

The tailback spent his freshman and sophomore seasons of high school playing at Pike Road in Alabama. 

He rushed for 1,139 yards and 18 touchdowns as a freshman, helping the Patriots win the 5A state championship.

Rogers eclipsed those marks as a sophomore, rushing for 1,626 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Crimson Tide offensive line coach Eric Wolford and running backs coach Robert Gillespie served as his primary recruiters. Alabama earned his commitment over Georgia, Auburn, Florida and Oregon.

The Crimson Tide was one of the first to notice Rogers, offering him a scholarship in January 2022. He was most recently on campus in March 2023 for Alabama's Junior Day recruitment event.

The Crimson Tide's 2025 class now has four members, all on the offensive side of the football. Five-star receiver Ryan Williams, Rogers and two four-star offensive linemen, Mason Short and Dontrell Glover.
