Alabama’s latest commit Hollywood Smothers has a lot to like. His athleticism and speed stand out the most. Smothers has the potential to score every time he touches the pigskin.

Assessing Alabama’s portal additions — First up is…. - WR Noah Rogers - 6’2”, 197 lbs. - Career Stats: 68 REC, 919 Yds, 3 TDs Rogers was a hot commodity out of high school. Programs like Clemson, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida State were vouching for his signature. However, he chose to sign with Ohio State. Rogers redshirted his true freshman season in Columbus and subsequently entered the transfer portal. He wound up at NC State where he spent the next two seasons. During that time, he solidified himself as a premier pass-catcher in the Wolfpack’s offense. While the production isn’t there in terms of touchdowns, Rogers will likely be a viable option for Alabama at wide receiver. His speed, length, and playmaking ability should gel well in a pass-centric offense like Alabama’s. Given the departures of Isaiah Horton and Germie Bernard, Rogers will be called on to fill their void. At one point, Rogers was a top-100 recruit. He runs a sub-4.5 and is as explosive as most wide receivers in CFB. The lack of opportunities at NC State likely factored into Rogers’ decision to transfer and ultimately choose Alabama. He has the potential to be a difference maker in Ryan Grubb’s offense that was seemingly more pass-heavy in 2025. In the ideal world, Rogers will be WR2 or WR3 for the Crimson Tide in the fall. He will have more than enough opportunities to showcase his potential in spring and fall camp against one of the best secondaries in CFB in 2026 in my opinion. I’m not ready to say that Rogers will have a Jameson Williams or even Isaiah Horton-esque season in 2026. However, I can confidently say that he is fully capable of living up to the billing of his predecessors. Alabama will certainly need him to alleviate some of the pressure on teammates Ryan Williams and Lotzeir Brooks. Personally, I think that he will do so. Overall Grade: A-
