Pre-Spring Position Preview: Breaking down the Alabama WRs

A closer look at the Alabama wide receivers ahead of spring practice

Before we know it, new Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer will hit the practice field with his Crimson Tide players for the first time when spring practice gets underway in March.

With the retirement of the legendary Nick Saban, there have not been this many question marks surrounding the football program since 2007 when Saban took over.

Contrary to popular belief, Alabama still has one of the most talented rosters in the country and should be right in the thick of the college football playoff conversation.

As the anticipation builds leading up to spring practice, Roll Tide Wire will preview each position group. We have already looked at the quarterbacks and the running backs, so now we will shift our focus to the Alabama wide receivers.

Social media reacts to Alabama’s impressive opening drive at Kentucky

Jalen Milroe has Alabama fans excited after the Tide’s hot start in Lexington

After Alabama football fans held a collective sigh of relief after starting quarterback Jalen Milroe fell to the turf with a leg injury, Milroe returned and helped guide the Crimson Tide offense to a touchdown on their opening drive in Lexington to give Alabama an early 7-0 lead over the Wildcats.

Milroe was a perfect 5-5 on the drive for 51 yards including a 26-yard strike to Amari Niblack to get the Crimson Tide on the board.

After a quick stop from the Alabama defense, Milroe would then find Kobe Prentice for a 40-yard touchdown to expand the Tide’s lead to 14-0.

Despite the early kick, it didn’t take social media long to get hyped for Alabama’s impressive road start. Here are some of the top reactions from X (formerly Twitter).

5 players who will play larger roles in Alabama’s Week 11 matchup against Kentucky

Take a look at five Alabama players who will play larger roles against Kentucky in Week 11

Alabama has had a handful of injuries this season. Therefore, several players have had to step up this season.

In Week 10, two Alabama starters — Deontae Lawson and Jaylen Key suffered injuries. Lawson suffered an ankle injury and Key suffered a quad injury. Both will be sidelined against Kentucky in Week 11.

With that said, multiple players will be expected to fill in for them. Also, several players are seeing increased roles that will likely see that trend continue as the season progresses.

Roll Tide Wire lists five players that will play larger roles in Alabama’s Week 10 matchup against Kentucky.

Social media reacts to Jalen Milroe finding Kobe Prentice for a 79-yard touchdown

What fans are saying about Jalen Milroe’s 79-yard strike to Kobe Prentice

After a lackluster start for the Alabama Crimson Tide, Jalen Milroe found a streaking Kobe Prentice for a 79-yard touchdown to give Alabama a 7-6 lead over Arkansas with under a minute remaining in the first quarter.

The Alabama defense has been decent early on holding the Razorbacks to a pair of long field goal attempts that gave Arkansas an early 6-0 lead. After punting on each of their first two possessions and facing a long third down, Milroe finally makes a connection deep to Prentice to get things rolling for the Alabama offense.

Social media made their thoughts known on the big play for the Tide!

5 sleepers on Alabama’s offense heading into 2023

Five sleepers on Alabama’s offense heading into the 2023 college football season!

We are now under two months away from the start of the 2023 college football season. Now, it truly feels like it is just around the corner. Before you know it, Nick Saban and the Alabama football team will be taking the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium to play the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders on Sept. 2.

As we patiently await kickoff in early September, I thought we could dive into some players on Alabama’s roster who are being slept on entering the 2023 season. We will start things off on the offensive side of the ball, where most of the conversations this offseason have centered around the ongoing quarterback battle, but I assure you, there is plenty of other positions and players to discuss from now until kickoff.

Let’s begin, shall we?

Alabama football countdown to kickoff: 80 days

We are now just Kobe Prentice days away from the start of Alabama’s 2023 football season!

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take the field for the 2023 college football season in 80 days, as Middle Tennessee State visits Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 2.

Here at Roll Tide Wire, we will be counting down the days until [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and his team take the field.

Today, with just 80 days remaining, we take a look at a sophomore wide receiver who wears No. 80, Kobe Prentice.

Prentice put together a solid freshman campaign last season hauling in 31 receptions for 337 yards and three touchdowns. Prentice will once again be in the receiver rotation in 2023, and despite the loaded room out wide, I expect Prentice to be one of Alabama’s best playmakers this fall.

Alabama takes on Arkansas on the road for a big-time Week 5 SEC matchup that carries SEC West implications. Despite an interception thrown by Bryce Young near the end zone on the opening drive, he made up for it with the Crimson Tide’s second possession.
