Hailing from just south of Birmingham in Calera, Alabama, 2022 wide receiver Kobe Prentice has committed to play for Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.
He initially committed to Maryland when he was given an offer from Mike Locksley, but then went and performed extremely well at Alabama’s summer camp, earning an offer from the Tide only one day later. He decommitted from Maryland after receiving the offer from his dream school, and has now committed to play for Alabama.
Prentice is a bit small (5’11”, 170), but Alabama’s gotten a whole lot of production the last few years with receivers doubted for their size. Oh, and he’s clocked a 4.38 forty yard dash. That’s serious speed.
247sports.com has been on the Prentice train for a little while now, with the Bama reporters expecting his commitment for a few weeks. Their internal rankings have him as a 4-star player and the 48th overall wide receiver, and rising. Rivals and ESPN aren’t quite as high on him, and so his Composite ranking is the #558 overall player— solidly in the 3-star range.
Of course, he’s due a Bama Bump (TM) soon.
He joins jumbo athlete Amari Niblack as the next pass-catcher in the 2022 class, and the two are pretty much polar opposites in terms of playstyle.
With Prentice’s commitment, Alabama has 13 total commits and is up to 3rd in the national rankings.

That Kobe doesn’t have a lot of beef.

Piper needs to work on his hanger management issues.
There’s no way to skirt the issue.
By CharlestonTide on 07.28.21 10:17am
Piper has a T-bone to pick with yall...

I step out for one moment
And you effers are grilling me!
I feel like chopped liver
By PiperTJ on 07.28.21 10:31am
You can put it in your pipes and smoke it.
By CharlestonTide on 07.28.21 11:05am
That's a jerky move
By PiperTJ on 07.28.21 11:33am
He's just ribbing you
By Kblair1701 on 07.28.21 12:01pm
Don't get saucy or you'll rub him the wrong way.
By krnxprs on 07.28.21 12:16pm
Well done, all!
By CharlestonTide on 07.28.21 12:24pm
Pun threads this long?
That’s rare
By CrimsonRon on 07.28.21 12:55pm
Little late to the party. I hope your pun-a-Prentices didn't butcher the thread.
By dietcokeaddict on 07.28.21 1:36pm
A step on the defender and it's over.
He gone.
By Moby on 07.27.21 10:24pm
A 4.38 BEFORE Ballou and Rhea get their hands on this kid?
Dude’s going to be running a 3.9 by the time he gets picked first overall in the draft.
By TUAMuchTuna on 07.28.21 4:31am
3.900
But, yes, u r correct
By PiperTJ on 07.28.21 5:39am
This kid is very, very fast, especially under pressure, as you can clearly see by this Ballou & Rhea graph:
