2025 Ohio State running back target decommits from Alabama after visit to Columbus

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Four-star 2025 running back Anthony “Turbo” Rogers decommitted from Alabama on Sunday afternoon.

The Buckeyes have long been after his commitment, and it appears they could be on the verge of getting him to flip his pledge from Alabama.

Rogers, at 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds, is the No. 141 overall prospect and No. 8 running back in the 247Sports.com composite rankings. He attends Carver High School in Montgomery, Ala.

He was on campus for an official visit for the Purdue game just over a week ago. Rogers will make a decision between Ohio State and Georgia on National Signing Day on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Ohio State has two running backs already committed in the 2025 class in Isaiah West and Bo Jackson, and Rogers would give them some needed depth after the tandem of Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson likely both depart at season’s end.

Heading into next season, that would give the Buckeyes five scholarship running backs barring any transfers. Sam Williams-Dixon and James Peoples are currently freshmen in the running back room.
