Four-star wide receiver prepared to contribute at Alabama next season

No one from Alabama’s 2017 class of receivers takes a back seat, especially after watching the trio of Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III and Devonta Smith record multiple plays last season.

While Ruggs led the group in touchdowns (six) and Smith brought in clutch receptions, the Crimson Tide had another weapon on the bench. Hailing from Lewisville, Texas, Tyrell Shavers did not see any action in 2017 and decided to redshirt. He possesses the most physicality of the four wide outs, standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 209 pounds. The unanimous four-star was one of the nation’s elite prospects and was listed at No.
