Jermaine Burton

Burton’s transfer from Georgia to Alabama was successful, at least in terms of his individual production. Burton set career-highs across the board in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Burton caught 40 passes for 677 yards and seven touchdowns for the Tide. He led Alabama in receiving yards and was second on the squad in both receptions and receiving scores. Burton decided against taking his talents to the NFL, instead opting to return to the Tide. Ja’Corey Brooks also returns alongside Burton, but the wide receiving unit is unusually thin and raw after that, especially with the transfers of Traeshon Holden, JoJo Earle and Christian Leary. While this could mean even more targets for Burton than a season ago, it also must be noted that quarterback Bryce Young is gone, and likely successor Jalen Milroe is much more of a dual-threat option than pocket passer. That could negatively impact Burton’s opportunities and production.
