Alabama RB Jase McClellan warming up for SEC Championship Game

Alabama running back Jase McClellan was on the field prior to the SEC Championship Game and in full uniform.

There were questions if McClellan would be able to play against Georgia Saturday. He re-aggravated a foot injury ahead of the conference title game.

But, it appears he’s good to go, according to Bama Online’s Charlie Potter.

“Jase McClellan is in uniform and fielding kickoffs during warmups,” Potter wrote on Twitter.

On Thursday, head coach Nick Saban updated McClellan’s status days before kickoff.

“He’s not been able to do a lot,” Saban said. “So, we’ll see how he does today, where he is and I’d say that we’d have to say he’s probably questionable for the game at this point but I think it’s probably too early to tell.”

This has been the most productive year of McClellan’s college career on the ground as he’s carried 166 times for 803 yards and six touchdowns.

As a member of the Class of 2020, McClellan was a four-star recruit out of Aledo (Texas) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 6 overall prospect in the state, the No. 6 running back in the class and the No. 47 overall prospect in the class.

Jase McClellan warms up, Georgia has injury questions on other side

Georgia will go into the SEC Championship Game with an injury report that will cause some nerves, with star offensive players Ladd McConkey and Brock Bowers both on it.

In addition to those two, receiver Rara Thomas and offensive lineman Tate Ratledge have also been banged up.

Head coach Kirby Smart was asked about the availability for all four on Thursday during an SEC Championship Game teleconference call.

“Great question because I’m trying to figure that out myself,” Smart said. “I don’t have a lot more answers now than I had on Monday. They have not been able to do a lot. Each one has worked kind of independently.”

Brock Bowers is one of the biggest mismatches in the country, while McConkey has been a steady presence in the passing game for quarterback Carson Beck. Bowers has led the team in receiving with 661 yards and six touchdowns, while McConkey has racked up 418 yards and two touchdowns receiving.
