Alabama added another big piece to its 2022 class in four-star athlete Kendrick Law, who announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide on Friday. The Shreveport (La.) Captain Shreve product chose Nick Saban and company over LSU, Florida State, and Texas. He’s the 24th addition out of the high school ranks for UA in the class, and the third wide receiver target on board from the state of Louisiana.
Law is projected to play wide receiver at Alabama, but could potentially get a look at running back as well.

At 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, Law is rated the No. 3 athlete and the No. 87 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Here’s 247Sports’ evaluation of the Bayou State talent:
“Adequate height with good bulk and an athletic build. Put together like a running back or safety with capability to play receiver or multiple spots in the defensive back seven. Flashes springy athleticism that translates to off-the-ground bounce as a pass catcher and lateral twitch as a ball carrier. Shows excellent stop-start ability and burst out of redirection. Good top-end field speed supported by times on the track. Shows encouraging hands-catching and high-pointing abilities considering offensive snaps were split between the backfield and receiver. Finishes runs as a back and shows ability to string together moves at the second level. Displays impressive concentration, body control, and adjustment ability at wideout. Ball skills and awareness would translate well to the secondary. Commands respect as a run-after-catch threat. Outstanding athletic profile headlined by track and field. Eclipsed 11.00 in the 100 meters several times as a junior, including a wind-aided 10.48 for second place in Louisiana 5A. Having said that, top-end field speed can better reflect track times. Sometimes more quick than fast in that regard. Gets bounce-happy at times as a ball carrier. Will need to carve out full-time role with requisite technique at a permanent positional home. Projects as a potential high-major impact player who could fit multiple spots on both sides of the ball. Possesses the physical tools and athletic profile that could result in NFL Draft early-round consideration.”
