Alabama freshman WR John Metchie has exploded in spring practice

It looks like the northern border is good for something not limited to its music artists (Drake, Justin Bieber), its brand of football, and its bacon – which is actually ham.

If former Alabama receiver Calvin Ridley had a Canadian son, it would be John Metchie.

The four-star receiver in the 2019 class has journeyed quite a bit in his life, from being born in Taiwan and moving to Ghana to relocating to Canadian and spending much of his life there.

Despite Henry Ruggs III missing Saturday’s scrimmage (personal), the freshman joined forced with Jaylen Waddle and made plays.
