The Alabama Crimson Tide football program has added an 11th wide receiver ahead of the 2026 season as the program flipped Kennesaw State commit Tyler Henderson on Saturday. Henderson spent the last two seasons at Mississippi Gulf Community College and was named a JUCO All-American for his 2025 season.

Henderson played high school football in Vicksburg, Miss. and stands at 6-foot, 175 pounds. He hauled in 100 passes for 1616 yards and 18 touchdowns in 21 games for the Bulldogs over the last two seasons, but exploded in 2025 with 1202 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns on 67 receptions.

The Crimson Tide now have 11 scholarship recievers on the roster ahead of the 2026 season, headlined by Ryan Williams and Lotzier Brooks. The group will be coached by new assistant Derrick Nix, giving the unit a fresh voice as Kalen DeBoer begins his third season.

Alabama superstar long-distance runner Doris Lemngole won the 5,000m at the 2025 Boston University David Hemery Valentine Invitational, finishing in 14:51.21. Lemngole bested her own personal best by one second. Her new time keeps her in the No. 2 spot on the NCAA's all-time list in the 5,00m, and she joins Parker Valby as the only two collegiate women to break 15 minutes in the event multiple times.
