SEPTEMBER 6, 2021 • 247SPORTS.COM

Snags six passes in win Metchie caught six balls for 76 yards and a touchdown Saturday at Miami.

Impact Metchie led the Tide in receptions for the game, and is expected to be the lead wideout for an offense that lost Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith to the NFL. Metchie was no slouch last year, though, gaining nearly 1,000 yards through the air while averaging 16.7 yards per catch. With Bryce Young looking as good as advertised, Metchie should feast this season, including next weekend versus lowly Mercer.

Non-participant in spring game Metchie (ankle) did not play in the spring game for Alabama this year as he is still recovering from the injury he sustained last season, per university reporter Mike Rodak.

Impact The wide receiver was expected to take the spring workouts lightly, participating in a limited capacity if possible. The 6-foot-0 junior will enter the 2021 campaign as the top option in the Alabama receiving corps after the departures of Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith for the NFL. He'll look to build upon the 2020 season where posted 55 catches for 916 yards and six touchdowns.

Will take spring to heal Metchie (undisclosed) is not expected to participate in spring ball a great deal while he recovers from injury, Charlie Potter of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact The nature of Metchie's injury is unclear, but it'll keep him out for most of spring practice in order to get healthy for the fall season. Metchie stepped up last season to serve as the team's No. 2 target after Jaylen Waddle's ankle injury, and he'll enter camp as the top receiver on the depth chart following the departures of Waddle and DeVonta Smith to the NFL.
