Tuscaloosa, AL • #5 Position Group • • 5. Wide Receiver • Competing: Malik Benson (Jr.), Ja’Corey Brooks (Jr.), Isaiah Bond (So.), Jermaine Burton (Sr.), Kobe Prentice (So.), Shazz Preston (RS Fr.), Kendrick Law (So.), Emmanuel Henderson Jr. (So.), Thaiu Jones-Bell (Jr.), Jalen Hale (Fr.), Jaren Hamilton (Fr.), Cole Adams (Fr.), Sam Willoughby (Sr.), Zarian Courtney (Sr.) Departed: Christian Leary, Traeshon Holden, JoJo Earle, Aaron Anderson, Jacoby Boykins, Tyler Harrell, Bret Bolin Why We A re Optimistic: From an attitude standpoint, there’s been quite a bit of addition by subtraction. Plus, JUCO transfer Malik Benson looks like a prime-time talent. Why We Are Pessimistic: Consistency – and especially, attention to detail – was sorely lacking in 2022. Prediction: Benson, Brooks and Burton start, with Bond playing as much as the starters. Prentice and Law will be the other primary backups, along with perhaps Henderson.
