Mike McCoy, an Alabama football alum, has trained the next receiver that looks to become impactful.

As a BCS National Champion in 2009, McCoy is the founder of Maximum Performance Training in Bessemer, Ala.

He worked with Kobe Prentice throughout his time at Calera (Ala.) High School. Prentice, a four-star receiver in the 2022 class, was one of several athletes Justin Smith of Touchdown Alabama Magazine studied closely. He was an electric playmaker and marquee sprinter for Calera, finishing sixth in the state with a time of 10.8 seconds in the 100-meter dash.
