Christian Leary is primed for a breakout year after stellar A-Day performance

Alabama’s signed four highly touted wide receivers in its 2021 recruiting class.

Christian Leary, a native of Orlando, Fla., was discussed the most during the cycle, and he is primed for a breakout season in the fall. The 5-foot-10, 175-pounder is known for his speed and explosiveness as a receiver. He was an all-purpose weapon at Edgewater High School – totaling 520 rushing yards, 1,036 passing yards, and 16 touchdowns in 2019 as a junior.

Leary was electric on the track field, posting a time of 10.5 seconds in the 100-meter dash during his senior season.

He is as fast as they come, but the former four-star spent his first season as an emergency running back for the Crimson Tide.
