Alabama football’s freshman, Jaylen Mbakwe was seen practicing at wide receiver and wearing No. 6 in the Crimson Tide’s latest practice by reporters.
Mbakwe is a former five-star prospect, who played quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back throughout his high school career at Clay-Chalkville High School. He signed with the Tide to play defensive back, and he earned playing time at cornerback this season.
The freshman announced plans to enter the transfer portal earlier this month. He backed off those plans soon after.
Kalen DeBoer addressed the possibility of Mbakwe playing some wide receiver after Mbakwe decided to not leave Tuscaloosa.
