Alabama Adds Center Racin Delgatty, Texas Tackle Nick Brooks in Late Portal Haul

The moves target immediate stability at center after extensive offseason attrition.

Overview

  • Racin Delgatty committed Friday after an official visit to Tuscaloosa that began Jan. 15, according to multiple reports.
  • The Cal Poly center logged 1,316 snaps with one sack allowed, per Pro Football Focus, and arrives with two years of eligibility.
  • Texas freshman Nick Brooks also committed after a two-day visit, bringing a 6-foot-7, 349-pound lineman with three years to play and game reps at left guard.
  • Alabama has lost around 10 scholarship offensive linemen to the NFL Draft and transfers, including two-year starter Parker Brailsford, creating an urgent need in the middle.
  • With Delgatty, Brooks and earlier additions Kaden Strayhorn and Ty Haywood, Alabama now lists 12 scholarship offensive linemen for 2026 as the transfer-entry window closes.
