Future is bright for Alabama football at wide receiver

From top to bottom, the University of Alabama carries student-athletes at wide receiver on its football program that could probably start at any other major school in Division I.

While the veterans such as Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III, DeVonta Smith are back as juniors, sophomore Jaylen Waddle looks to do more damage as well. The native Texan had a freshman season where he had 848 yards with seven touchdowns, earning Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team honors from the league’s coaches, Associated Press and Football Writers Association of America.

Despite the old heads being at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the final practice of the spring semester, it was the Crimson Tide’s youth at the position that ignited joy and generated conversation in White’s 31-17 win over Crimson in the A-Day Game on last week.
