Alabama WR Tyrell Shavers ready to take the next step

Even with losing Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III to the upcoming NFL Draft, Alabama still returns a roster of playmakers at wide receiver. DeVonta Smith’s decision to come back for his senior year is huge and Jaylen Waddle will enter his junior season next fall.

Despite it also having Slade Bolden, John Metchie, Xavier Williams and a few talented names coming in the 2020 signing class, there is one player that appears to finally be ready to take the next step and break into the rotation. Tyrell Shavers, a native of Lewisville, Texas, was in the 2017 class with Tua Tagovailoa and the trio of Jeudy, Smith and Ruggs.
