Jermaine Burton records first milestone performance as an Alabama receiver

It took 11 games, but Alabama fans saw Jermaine Burton have an impactful game.

As a transfer wide receiver from Georgia, Burton had one 100-yard performance as a Bulldog in two years. The output came during his freshman season against Mississippi State. He recorded 197 yards receiving and two touchdowns on eight catches.

Burton has been inconsistent in his first season at Alabama, but he broke through against Austin Peay. His connection with quarterback Bryce Young finally came to fruition. He caught seven passes (seven targets) for a game-high 128 yards and two touchdowns. Burton led the Crimson Tide for receptions and averaged 18.
