What other five star wide receivers have signed with the Alabama Crimson Tide?
Ryan Williams of Saraland High School in Saraland, Alabama, is the most recent five-star recruit to sign with Alabama. Williams’ ranking was incredibly amazing, especially given that he reclassified and should still be in high school for another year. Despite this, On3 nonetheless gave him a consensus five-star rating.
Jerry Jeudy, Julio Jones, and Calvin Ridley are the other five outstanding receivers that paved the way before Cunningham. Ridley and Jones have had great NFL careers, while Jeudy is still finding his footing despite being in the league since 2020.
There is little doubt that head coach Kalen DeBoer utilized this as a recruiting pitch for Cunningham. And, with Alabama stocked at quarterback behind Jalen Milroe, who will most likely be out of Tuscaloosa by the time Cunningham sees substantial playing time, the Tide remain loaded behind him, which bodes well for Cunningham.
Ty Simpson, Dylan Lonergan, and Austin Mack have set the Tide up for terrific depth at the position, so Cunningham should be happy about the environment he is entering.
