Recruits announcing which school they have committed to is a time-honored tradition in college football, but Najee Harris has different ideas on how he will let the public know where he's going.

The nation's No. 1 running back, and No. 3 overall prospect, told Drew Champlin of AL.com that following Saturday's U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, he will just get on a plane and show up at the school of his choice.

Harris graduated high school early and will begin classes at the school of his choosing next week. The 6-foot-3, 226-pounder verbally committed to Alabama in April, but is also considering Michigan as well.

While Crimson Tide fans might be nervous with all the Michigan rumors, the nation's top-ranked dual-threat quarterback Tua Tagovailoa did his best to quell those feelings.

The Hawaii native, who is also a Crimson Tide commit, told Hank South of 247 Sports that he's flying to Alabama with Harris after the game.
