Overview

  • Olaus Alinen announced his portal entry on social media and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
  • Joseph Ionata told AL.com he plans to transfer after serving as a backup center and special-teams contributor in 2025.
  • The NCAA undergraduate transfer portal opened Jan. 2 and remains accessible through Jan. 16.
  • Alabama’s offensive line could see major change with Kadyn Proctor viewed as a likely NFL entrant, Parker Brailsford’s status unresolved, and Kam Dewberry and Geno VanDeMark out of eligibility.
  • The latest moves follow other Crimson Tide departures after the 2025 season, including Jaylen Mbakwe, Richard Young, and Roq Montgomery, signaling broader roster churn.
