On social media, Alabama football has a third freshman wide receiver to unveil its number for the fall.
Aaron Anderson wore No. 82 in spring practice, but he’s switched to No. 13. Isaiah Bond will wear No. 17, and Shazz Preston has announced he is No. 18 for the Crimson Tide. Preston, a native of Saint James, La., was one of the top receiver prospects in the nation for the 2022 signing class. The 6-foot, 190-pounder chose Alabama over Georgia, LSU, and Texas. He trained with former Tide standout DeVonta Smith in the offseason. Smith was a two-time national champion and 2020 Heisman Trophy winner.
