Blake, a junior, emerged as a third receiving option for the Tigers last season, finishing with 33 catches for 554 yards and a team-leading eight receiving touchdowns. Maze, a senior, is the Crimson Tide’s leading returning receiver, catching 38 passes for 557 yards and three touchdowns last year. Hanks, a senior, had 32 catches for 456 yards and three touchdowns. Carter, the son of former NFL star Cris Carter, is a former Ohio State receiver who transferred to the Crimson Tide from Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College this spring. He had 44 catches for 690 yards and 10 touchdowns at Coffeyville.
