Ryan Peppins brings proven playmaking pedigree to UAB
Peppins is a compact, explosive **slot-style receiver** who arrives at UAB with a real difference-maker résumé: he won Alabama Mr. Football after a 2021 senior season at Thompson with **80 catches, 1,379 receiving yards, and 23 touchdowns**, including a huge state-title-game performance. At UAB, he fits best as a quick separator and after-the-catch weapon rather than a size-based target, and his transfer history means the main question is opportunity and consistency, not talent. If you want a receiver with proven big-game production and playmaking juice, he’s worth caring about.
