Texas A&M will host Alabama transfer wide receiver this weekend

Texas A&M will reportedly host another SEC wide receiver this weekend

It’s no surprise that Texas A&M Coach Mike Elko is focused on adding talent at the wide receiver position. While the additions of Micah Hudson and Mario Craver are undoubtedly intriguing, both players lack experience and may take time to adjust to their new roles.

After hosting North Carolina State transfer WR KC Concepcion will visit Texas A&M this weekend, the Aggies aren’t done hosting veteran receivers, as 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz confirmed that Alabama transfer receiver/kick returner Emmanuel Henderson would visit Texas A&M on Saturday.

Henderson is another interesting option, but he doesn’t fit the “experienced” receiver role compared to the incoming visitor, Miami transfer WR Isaiah Horton. However, loading up from a depth perspective is never bad, especially before the spring football season.

In two seasons with Alabama, Henderson recorded five receptions for 96 yards, including 20.4 yards per reception this season.

Texas A&M’s wide receiver room currently has ten players on the roster heading into the spring season.

Alabama wide receiver, former top recruit enters NCAA transfer portal

A fourth Alabama wide receiver has now entered the transfer portal.

The latest member of the Alabama Crimson Tide football roster entered the NCAA transfer portal officially Monday night, as Emmanuel Henderson Jr. announced his intentions to play elsewhere in 2025.

A wide receiver, Henderson originally came to Alabama as a member of the Crimson Tide’s 2022 recruiting class considered as the nation’s No. 2 overall running back out of in-state Geneva County High School.

Once at Alabama however, the highly-rated four-star prospect would go on to transition to the wide receiver position where he primarily played a special teams role across three seasons from 2022-24.

That stretch included a combined stat line of five receptions for 96 yards, six kick returns for 115 yards, and nine tackles defensively. This season, the wide receiver had four receptions for 82 yards, five kick returns for 107 yards, and four tackles.

Henderson becomes the latest Alabama wide receiver to enter the transfer portal, a total that now sits at four this cycle. The others who have also announced they were entering the transfer portal are Kobe Prentice, Caleb Odom, and Kendrick Law.

Alabama Football injury report heading into Week 2 vs. Texas Longhorns

Roll Tide Wire takes a look at Alabama football’s injury report heading into Week 2 versus No. 11 Texas.

Alabama had a convincing win over Middle Tennessee State in the season opener on Saturday. However, several players suffered injuries during the game. Defensive backs Jaylen Key and Malachi Moore both left the game with injuries and did not return.

Saban was able to provide the latest on Monday afternoon. “They’re both day-to-day,” Saban said, “It’s probably too early to tell what their circumstance will be.” He would also go on to add that neither injury appears to be a long-term issue.

That is good news considering that Moore and Key are key pieces to Alabama’s secondary. The two of them played well in Week 1 against the Blue Raiders offense.

Another player that was expected to contribute in Alabama’s wide receiver room is sophomore Emmanuel Henderson. Saban was able to elaborate on why Henderson was spotted with crutches. “He has a hip injury,” Saban said, “It’s going to probably be a few more weeks before he gets back into the swing of things but hard to know exactly when.”

According to Saban, Henderson was also having a “great fall camp”. The Alabama native will provide a boost to Alabama’s receiving core when he is cleared to return.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama football and its latest injury updates.

Coach Saban likes what he is seeing from two of Alabama’s true freshmen

Coach Saban had high praise when speaking to the media about true freshmen Emmanuel Henderson and Kobe Prentice.

Coach Saban spoke with the media after Wednesday’s practice about two of Alabama’s true freshmen that have stood out in particular: [autotag]Kobe Prentice[/autotag] and [autotag]Emmanuel Henderson[/autotag]. Both are currently working as wide receivers.

According to Charlie Potter of BamaOnline247, here is what Saban had to say about Henderson:

“I think that he can help us that position, and I think he will before the season’s out. … I’m encouraged by his athleticism.”

Saban doesn’t often compliment freshmen openly unless he has a plan for them to contribute early and often. With that being said, Prentice will likely have the opportunity to do that in week one with wide receiver JoJo Earle sidelined with a foot fracture.

Here is what Coach Saban had to say about Prentice according to Potter:

“I think that he’s showing promise with his quickness playing at the slot,” Saban said. “I think his opportunities have increased since JoJo (Earle) got hurt. He’s taken advantage of it, played fairly well. I still think he’s got a ways to go in terms of knowledge of the offense and doing things exactly like we’d like for him to do it. But he’s got great work ethic.

“He works hard every day. He’s got a great attitude. He’s really positive and upbeat about what he’s doing. He doesn’t get frustrated easily. I think all those things are contributing to his development.”

This is a development to keep a close eye on as the regular season opener against Utah State is a little over a week away. There is a strong chance that we could see both Prentice and Henderson on the field a lot this upcoming season for the Crimson Tide.
