Alabama Wide receivers Kobe Prentice is expected to enter the NCAA Transfer portalaccording to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos.

Prentice is a former top-100 recruit and has been a productive target for the Crimson Tide in the passing game. As a junior, Prentice suffered a decline in performance in his first year under the new coach Kalen DeBoer.

So far this season, Prentice has 11 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown.

In the two seasons prior to DeBoer’s arrival, Kobe Prentice had recorded 49 catches for 651 yards and four touchdowns. He was a viable weapon on offense and was looking to make a big jump. Except it didn’t really happen in his third year. Injuries that hindered him in the middle of the season certainly contributed to this.

Still, Prentice should be one of the top targets in the NCAA transfer portal this cycle. He is a weapon who can immediately add value to the offense with his playmaking ability.

Before enrolling at Alabama, Kobe Prentice was rated as a four-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class and the No. 72 overall player nationally. He was also ranked as the No. 11 wide receiver in his class and the No. 5 overall player in the state of Alabama coming from Calera (AL) Calera.
