Crimson Tide Losing Quarterback To The Transfer Portal?

Alabama's roster is about to take another roster hit

The Alabama football roster is in flux with Nick Saban retiring and Kalen DeBoer taking over.

That still does not make it easy to explain the roster attrition that's taking place with the tradition-rich college football program. Offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor is in the Transfer Portal. So is elite safety Caleb Downs and talented running back Roydell Williams, the latter now enrolled at Florida State. The list is long for Alabama players leaving the program.

Now, ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel is reporting that 5-star quarterback recruit Julian Sayin will enter the Transfer Portal as well. Sayin is a prospect that Bama went after hard for over a year and he is considered the crown jewel of Alabama's 2024 recruiting class.

As teams like LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, and many others attempt to catch up to the Crimson Tide, it appears that the once-dominant program is coming back to the pack. Alabama simply cannot take this kind of attrition and remain at the top of the SEC and college football.
