The Texas native is a long prospect with an impressive wingspan at 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds. He shines in contested catches situations with his ability to work back to the football and controlled his body in the air with an impressive vertical. He can make plays after the catch as well with a tough running style and with the ability to make moves in open space as he gets up the football field.
Hale showed improvement as a route runner during his senior season for Longview.
Alabama football returns plenty of talent at wide receiver, but the door is open for new talent to get on the field if they show they are ready to contribute right away.
