The Alabama Crimson Tide usually has a strong contingent of wide receivers on its roster. However, Ryan Coleman-Williams is the team’s only returning receiver who posted more than 500 yards last season. The lack of depth behind him and Lotzeir Brooks made Noah Rogers (NC State) an imperative transfer addition for head coach Kalen DeBoer.

The Crimson Tide and Pirates kick off their 2026 campaigns on Sept. 5 at 12:00 p.m. E.T. (ABC).
