Kimbrough holds steady as our No. 1-rated receiver, and he rounds out our top 10. Kimbrough is a pretty easy eval for the most part. He is a long strider and a build-up-to-speed runner, making his strides hard to match for DBs, enabling him to act as a deep threat vertically. I would like to see how his twitch and nuance grow in his routes, but he is well-developed and sticks out athletically when comparing him to other WRs in the class. He reminds me of Texas A&M freshman WR Aaron Gregory.

Dedrick Kimbrough Dedrick Kimbrough 6'3" | 180 lbs | WR Thompson | 2028 State AL is an explosive threat outside who’s going to take the collegiate level by storm here in a few years.

“Kimbrough is a complete WR with an incredible skill set as an underclassman- he has great size, electric speed, and an incredibly reliable set of hands he uses to make highlight-reel catches all over the field.

I’m really impressed with Kimbrough’s route running and body control- he gains tons of separation at every level of the field and can haul in ridiculous catches through coverage/contact. Any ball is catchable for a guy like Kimbrough- he has a terrific catch radius, great body control, and strong hands he uses to secure passes in some impressive ways.“

Kimbrough is unanimously holding steady across the board as the top WR prospect in Alabama, and he deserves at least consideration for the top spot. He is a well-developed player who is hovering closer to 200 pounds. He is a driver off the line with elite speed off the line, which he maintains down the field. He is a true deep threat who beats DBs to landmarks and instantly sends them into panic mode. Opportunities are naturally set up underneath thanks to how threatening he is as a deep threat, but he can gear down, sink his hips, and snap back to the QB, too. Kimbrough is a tough guard down the field, and that should translate thanks to his traits.
