Alabama wide receiver Kobe Prentice has committed to Baylor following his official visit on Monday. He becomes the first wide receiver commit for the Bears out of the transfer portal this offseason.
The 5-foot-10, 182-pound prospect had 60 catches for 780 yards and five touchdowns over three seasons at Alabama. In his first two seasons, Prentice tallied 49 catches for 651 yards and four touchdowns over two seasons. Under Kalen DeBoer as the Crimson Tides’ new head coach, Prentice totaled just 129 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets.
Prentice was a consensus top-100 prospect in the 2022 class, and he would be one of the highest-ranked players to ever attend Baylor.
Baylor is set to lose four of its top five receivers from this past year's team — Ashtyn Hawkins (5Sr.), Hal Presley (Sr.), Monaray Baldwin (Sr.), Ketron Jackson (Sr.) — making this position one of the most important for the staff during transfer portal season.
He will have one year of eligibility remaining.
Cameron is back on the outside, and I think folks will be surprised by Porter next year. I predict he takes a huge step forward.CaliBear00 said:
He'll be a starter by default. We're losing the entire WR room. Yikes.

Hawkins with more size.
The production is pretty modest for his pedigree. Hopefully, he's a better system fit for us than he was at Alabama, especially under deBoer. Seventeen targets in a season a concerningly low number in a spread offense.Bearsalwayswin said:
love his film
Same height as Hawkins at 5'10/5'11CaliBear00 said:ImABearToo said:

You meant Baldwin, right?
Then he'll definitely be a better fit for us. Hopefully he can produce at a similar level to what Hawkins gave us this season.Bearsalwayswin said:
they didn't use slots inter deboar apparently.
Trigg did. Ketron didn't. With potential guys, it's always a crapshoot. I feel like production guys are safer bets, but I'm not going to turn away talent either.Quinton said:
It's a strong pick up. Talent is there need to break out with the right environment/opportunity. Trigg did.
I do think it's an interesting question on proven G5 production guy v high upside semi productive top end P4 guy. This is a good bet. Now go get a few more proven outside guys and maybe one more slot piece.

Probably opportunity. With Hawkins and Baldwin graduating, playing time at the slot is wide open.BearlyBeloved said:
Did we recruit him out of high school?
Since he likely had other schools wanting him as a transfer,I am wondering how we got our foot in the door?

It looks like Bama's entire WR production and passing totals were not world-beating numbers. Prentice was their 3rd leading WR despite only playing a handful of games.
