 [January 24, 2022] Alabama
may have lost to Georgia in the national championship game, but the
rivalry continued off the field Sunday as the Crimson Tide snatched
up Georgia transfer wideout Jermaine Burton.
Burton caught 26 passes for 497 yards and five touchdowns in 2021,
his sophomore season. He has tallied 53 receptions for 901 yards and
eight TDs in his collegiate career thus far.
The 6-foot, 200-pound Burton was a top-100 high school recruit in
the Class of 2020.

The Crimson Tide needed to bolster the position, as
they will lose their three top wide receivers from last season --
Jameson Williams, John Metchie III and Slade Bolden -- to the NFL
draft.
Alabama has used the transfer portal to add other pieces, including
running back Jahmyr Gibbs from Georgia Tech and cornerback Eli Ricks
from LSU.
