It didn’t take long for Alabama to find it’s third receiver on offense. Even after losing players like Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs to the NFL Draft, the Canadian sophomore John Metchie has seamlessly transitioned into his starting role. And on Saturday against Texas A&M, Metchie announced himself to the country as one of the rising stars in college football.
Metchie wasted no time against the Aggies for on Alabama’s third play on offense he broke free for a 78-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mac Jones.
But that wasn’t the only time Metchie ran wild in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
