Over the last two seasons, Crimson Tide fans witnessed arguably the best receiving corps in school history. Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III, Devonta Smith, and Jaylen Waddle piled up the receiving yards and scores on their way up the Alabama record books.

While Alabama great Amari Cooper sits atop most of the receiving records, a few of them could be in danger from the fast-charging Smith and Waddle

TOTAL RECEIVING YARDS

In three seasons, Smith has compiled 2,109 yards. His breakout season of 2019 saw him total 1,256. He would have to top that number at 1,354+ yards to reach Cooper’s three year total. It’s a big number but not impossible. A smidge over 800 yards would easily place him at No. 2 on the Crimson Tide all-time receiving yards list.

Waddle only needs 662 yards to slide into No. 6 all-time. 1,245 would tie him with Julio. He would have to get into the 1,300s to pass Jeudy and/or Ridley.

RECEPTIONS

This record might be a little tougher to reach. Smith would need a ridiculous 110 receptions just to tie Cooper for most career catches. Only one Crimson Tide player has topped 90 in a season. Yep, you guessed it.

Amari Cooper - 124 (2014)

Calvin Ridley - 89 (2015)

Julio Jones - 78 (2010)

Jerry Jeudy - 77 (2019)

Calvin Ridley - 72 (2016)

A mere 77 grabs could catapult Smith into third place. 75 for Waddle would propel him to fifth.

TOUCHDOWNS

Finally, we have a Cooper record that could be surpassed. With just four scoring receptions, Smith passes both Jeudy and Ruggs for second place. Eight touchdowns via the air attack will give Smith a tie for the school record.

Waddle has a longer row to hoe but at the very least should move into the top five.
