Former Alabama transfer named semifinalist for Biletnikoff Award

A former Alabama transfer has been named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award.

When it comes to players who transferred out of the Alabama Crimson Tide football program this past offseason, there are arguably few who have gone on to see more immediate success this year than Ja’Corey Brooks.

A former five-star wide receiver, Brooks was an immediate impact player at Alabama, going on to spend three seasons with the Crimson Tide from 2021-23.

Over that span, Brooks appeared in 37 games with the Crimson Tide, a span in which he had a combined 57 receptions for 896 yards and 10 touchdowns.

As mentioned previously however, Brooks transferred this past offseason, where the wide receiver ended up with the Louisville Cardinals in a move that has certainly proved to be impactful for the former five-star.

So far this season, Brooks has simply been one of the top wide receivers in all of college football at Louisville, hauling in a career-high 57 receptions for an ACC-leading 945 yards and eight touchdowns. Brooks has also served as both a kickoff and punt returner at times for Louisville, and as a result of his season, was recently named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award.

The award recognizes the top wide receiver in college football, with Alabama also having a semifinalist themselves in star freshman Ryan Williams.
