Alabama football has added another weapon to its wide receiver room ahead of the new year.

Isaiah Horton, a redshirt sophomore wide receiver who spent his first three seasons in Miami, told On3 that he would transfer to Alabama two seasons before play began.

Horton, a former four-star wide receiver from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was the No. 372 player in the 2022 recruiting class and visited the Crimson Tide Dec. 19-20, a source confirmed to the Tuscaloosa News.

Horton is the sixth player to transfer to Alabama. He joins former Cal long snapper David Bird, former Colorado School of Mines punter Blake Doud, former Florida defensive end Kelby Collins, former Utah cornerback Cameron Calhoun and former Texas A&M offensive lineman Kam Dewberry.

Horton became the second player to commit to Dewberry on December 21, transferring to Alabama.

What Alabama football gets in Miami WR Isaiah Horton

Horton, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound receiver, makes Alabama a viable outside threat in 2025.

After recording 14 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown in his first two seasons with the Hurricanes, Horton was Miami’s No. 2 receiver in 2024 and ranked second in receptions behind Xavier Restrepo (56). He was fourth on the team with five touchdown receptions and third with 616 yards receiving.

Horton had a 100-yard game for the Hurricanes in 2024: an eight-catch, 108-yard performance against South Florida in which he scored a 6-yard touchdown from Cam Ward.

With Ryan Williams, who is 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, and Germie Bernard, who is 6-foot-1, 209 pounds, Horton immediately becomes an outside threat in the red zone for the Crimson Tide.

With his experience in the Hurricanes’ offense, Horton projects he is the Crimson Tide’s No. 3 wide receiver and can expect starting snaps along with Bernard and Williams.
