One of the biggest questions surrounding the 2024 Alabama Crimson Tide, is what the rebuilt WR corps look like. 

Losing the top of the position group to either the NFL or the transfer portal, the team features plenty of new names including a budding star in freshman Ryan Williams

Heading into halftime, Ja'Corey Brooks has been unstoppable for the Cardinals, catching seven receptions for 83 yards and the TD above. Obviously facing lesser competition, a performance of this caliber is expected from Brooks. 

Why he would opt to go to a program that is objectively less decorated than Alabama is hard to wrap your brain around, but if you asked Alabama, they would have probably liked to keep Brooks around. 

It's too late now, as the Tide are set to open up the next era of football in Alabama in just a few hours against Western Kentucky. 

Brooks caught 57 passes for 896 yards and 10 TDs while wearing Crimson and White.
