Metchie III burst onto the NCAA scene in 2020 as a key component of an Alabama receiving group that featured two first-round picks, including Heisman winner DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle. The six-foot, 195-pound Canuck caught 55 passes for 916 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore, becoming the first Canadian in 17 years to win an NCAA national title.
At the conclusion of his second year, Metchie III took home the Jon Cornish Trophy as the best Canadian player in the NCAA. He is the younger brother of Calgary Stampeders’ safety Royce Metchie, who attended the University of Guelph.
Metchie III was born in Taiwan and lived in Ghana before moving to Canada at the age of six. He started his football path in Ontario, then shifted stateside to play high school football in Hagerstown, MD and at the Peddie School in Hightstown, N.J.
