Alabama fans reaction towards WR Ja’Corey Brooks as he is transferred to…
Ja’Corey Brooks has picked his transfer destination
The Alabama transfer wide receiver announced Friday he committed to Louisville while visiting the school. The junior receiver had a big sophomore season in 2022 for the Crimson Tide, totaling 39 catches for 674 yards and eight touchdowns, but injuries and a crowded receiver room limited his opportunities this season. Brooks had only three catches for 30 yards in the 2023 campaign, last playing against LSU on Nov. 4.
“He’s done a great job. He’s done a great job on special teams,” Nick Saban said Nov. 6 of Brooks. “He’s been a little hurt which has contributed to his role to some degree. But he’s been great. He’s done a great job on special teams. He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do. When he’s gone in the game he’s done a really good job of doing what he needs to do. He got his shoulder banged up which has been a little bit of an issue for him all year in the game so we’ll see how it goes this week as well.”
Brooks went into the transfer portal last week, a few days after he did not suit up for Alabama in its SEC Championship win over Georgia.
