Kobe Prentice, a former superstar at Calera (Ala.) High School, came in Alabama's 2022 signing class. The elite speedster made plays as a freshman and grew more as a sophomore, but he's ready for a massive season. Prentice is regarded as the best route runner on the team; however, he also possesses the ability to make incredible catches. The junior made a play Monday that the Tide's social media team captured. Prentice made an insane one-handed catch from quarterback Jalen Milroe in spring practice.
