Former Alabama right tackle Elijah Pritchett is transferring to Nebraska, On3's Hayes Fawcett announced on Wednesday.

Pritchett just concluded his redshirt sophomore season where he made 11 starts at right and left tackle in 2024. He rotated into all 14 games as redshirt freshman at right and left tackle but has always been in competition for playing time throughout his time in Tuscaloosa.

Pritchett was the 22nd Alabama player to enter the transfer portal, following quarterback Dylan Lonergan, running back Justice Haynes, defensive linemen Jeheim Oatis, Hunter Osborne and Damon Payne Jr., edge rushers Keanu Koht and Jayshawn Ross, linebackers Jeremiah Alexander and Sterling Dixon, cornerbacks Jahlil Hurley and DeVonta Smith, wide receivers Kobe Prentice, Caleb Odom, Kendrick Law, Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Jaren Hamilton and Amari Jefferson, offensive linemen Miles McVay and Naquil Betrand, safety King Mack and tight end Ty Lockwood.

Pritchett is the third former Alabama player to transfer to a Big Ten school this offseason, joining running back Justice Haynes and defensive lineman Damon Payne Jr., who both made the move to Michigan a few weeks before the Crimson Tide's loss to the Wolverines in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Pritchett entered the transfer portal in the winter of 2023 but withdrew his name and returned to Tuscaloosa after a short stint in the portal.

Alabama has been active in the transfer portal recently as the Crimson Tide has grabbed two offensive linemen in former Texas A&M Aggie Kam Dewberry and former Bowling Green Falcon Arkel Anugwom.
