Bo Scarbrough Cleared to Enroll at Alabama: Latest Details and Reaction

Alabama commit Bo Scarbrough has been academically cleared to enroll in January after not being able to join the team during the fall semester.

Charles Power of 247Sports reported the big news for the Crimson Tide. Power also passed along remarks from Scarbrough's mother, Donetris: "Yes it is (true). He's very excited about it. Roll Tide!"

Scarbrough was a huge commit for Alabama's 2014 class, signing back in February to play for Nick Saban. The No. 2 athlete, according to 247Sports, was one of the most explosive running backs in the country during his senior season with IMG Academy.

He was unable to suit up for the Tide, however, due to his academic situation being incomplete, via Andrew Gribble of AL.com. Saban spoke about Scarbrough's situation, and commented on Montel McBride, prior to the season, per Gribble:

"They won't be completed until the end of summer school," Saban said. "I can't really make a prediction on what their status will be until their summer school is over."

As a team, Alabama has certainly survived not having Scarbrough on the field this season. Currently sitting at No. 1 in the Amway Coaches Poll, the Tide are certainly rolling heading into a full SEC schedule.

When Scarbrough finally is able to join the team, Saban and offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin will have yet another weapon at their disposal. The 6'2", 225-pound running back might be coming in later than expected, but he can certainly still make a huge impact for the program in 2015.
