Jaren Hamilton, a three-star wide receiver from the 2023 class, recently released his top-seven schools and Alabama made the cut. Surprisingly, Hamilton, a native of Gainesville, did not include Florida.
Hamilton played last season at P.K. Yonge High School, but he recently decided to transfer to Bucholz High School for his senior year. Last year, he hauled in 30 receptions for 671 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Alabama began showing interest after Hamilton attended a camp in mid-June. Since then, wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins has been after the Florida prospect.
Ideally, Alabama would want to sign three or four wide receivers in the class and has already received commitments from Cole Adams and Malik Benson at the position. When speaking with Gainesville Sun high school reporter Ainslee Lee about his recruitment, here is what Hamilton had to say:
“It’s really going to boil down to how comfortable I am with whatever school it is,” Hamilton said. “It’s just a feeling I get.”
