Jaylen Mbakwe

The Tide looks to return to the top at wide receiver with a plethora of riches for the 2025 season.

The Crimson Tide's 2025-26 receiver corps reads like a cheat code: Germie Bernard (Sr.), Isaiah Horton (R-Jr.), Jalen Halen (R-So.), Cole Adams (R-So.), Ryan Williams (So.), Jaylen Mbakwe (So.), Rico Scott (R-Fr.), Bubba Hampton (R-Fr.), Derek Meadows (Fr.), and Lotzeir Brooks (Fr.).

The Crimson Tide has wrapped up its first week of spring football practice, and will now have a week off for spring break.

Kalen DeBoer provided some clarity on Jaylen Mbakwe's future with the Crimson Tide during his position switch, indicating he may be done playing defensive back.

Jaylen Mbakwe was spotted working at a new position and in a new number during Alabama's first bowl practice in Tampa.

On Wednesday, Alabama's athletic director Greg Byrne decided to take a proactive stance, turning to X and sending out emails to Alabama fans emphasizing that "now is a time for action."

The Alabama defensive back entered the transfer portal on Monday, but had a change of heart and withdrew his name from the transfer portal.

The Crimson Tide took another hit in the secondary on Monday, losing a highly-coveted freshman defensive back.

Mbakwe becomes the third commitment of the 2024 class, joining Martavious Collins and Perry "Uno" Thompson. With 18 months until the 2024 early signing date the Crimson Tide already has claim to the No. 8 recruiting class.
