Mbakwe is a former five-star athlete, who played quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back at Clay-Chalkville High School. He signed with the Tide to play cornerback and carved out a role in the Tide’s secondary as a freshman. The Alabama native announced he was entering the transfer portal Monday and news broke he was staying at Alabama on Tuesday.
Alabama is now short at wide receiver due to the portal and injuries ahead of its bowl game against Michigan and this could open the door for Mbakwe to get some snaps at wideout.
