Overview
- Multiple reports say Birmingham native Khalifa Keith, who played at Tennessee and Appalachian State, has committed to Alabama via the transfer portal.
- Keith will arrive with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
- Across three college seasons, he has 34 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown, including limited action in 2025 at Appalachian State.
- He is viewed as a physical depth option rather than an immediate every-down starter.
- His pickup comes as Alabama seeks to repair its ground game after averaging roughly 104 yards and 3.35 yards per carry in 2025, with Yahoo Sports listing him as the program’s 17th transfer and AL.com noting six scholarship running backs now on the roster.
