Bama WRs have a breakout game

Alabama opened conference play with a 55-3 drubbing of the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Alabama is out to a 28-3 lead at the half as Bryce Young has thrown for over 300 first half yards.

Sophomore wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks missed the entire spring period because of an injury but has gotten off to a strong start in fall camp according to Nick Saban.

The Crimson Tide begins fall camp on Thursday, August 3. Here is what to watch for on the offensive side of the ball.

Alabama has the task of replacing it’s top three wide receivers from a year ago. Three practices in and Nick Saban has been impressed with freshman wide receiver Kendrick Law. “He’s done a nice job,” Saban said. “He’s a guy that could play multiple positions if that creates value, in your opinion. But he has done a really good job ...

Missing spring practice is never good as its a great opportunity to develop and prove oneself. It may be particularly costly for the three players in particular as they are all in heated battles for playing time.

In his first career start, Brooks caught four passes for 66 yards, including a 44-yard score late in the second quarter to give the Crimson Tide a 17-3 lead heading into halftime against Cincinnati.

According to Mark Schlabach of ESPN, Alabama officials believe that Metchie has torn his ACL and will be lost for the remainder of the season.

Florida high school powerhouse IMG Academy is taking on Edgewater High School tonight at home. IMG has two Crimson Tide 2021 commits, JC Latham and Jacorey Brooks. Crimson Tide commit Christian Leary took the field for Edgewater but rather than play his traditional position of wide receiver, he played quarterback. Brooks hauled in a touchdown pass and another longer pass to set up the third Acenders score this evening from quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
