Alabama added another big weapon to its receiving corps, acquiring Miami transfer Isaiah Horton on Saturday. Horton, a rising redshirt junior, will have two years of eligibility at his next school. His addition helps the Crimson Tide regroup at the wide receiver position after losing Kendrick Law, Caleb Odom and Kobe Prentice to the transfer portal earlier this month.

Horton is coming off a breakout season in Miami, recording 56 receptions for 616 yards and five touchdowns. His performance came despite the fact that he only started four games in twelve appearances. He visited Alabama starting Friday and committed to the Tide on campus. His decision likely negates expected visits to Georgia and Texas A&M.

Horton expects to compete for a starting role for Alabama next season. The 1.80 meter tall, 90 kilogram receiver spent most of his time in the X role in Miami. He could take on those duties with the Tide, which would allow Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard to operate more out of the slot.

Horton signed with the Hurricanes as a three-star recruit in the 2022 class. The Murfreesboro, Tennessee native originally chose Miami over offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Oregon, Penn, among others State and Tennessee.
