Alabama's Five-Star QB Julian Sayin Enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Sayin's decision follows the retirement of Alabama coach Nick Saban, leading to a series of departures from the team.

Julian Sayin, a highly touted five-star freshman quarterback from Alabama, has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, following the retirement of Alabama coach Nick Saban.
Sayin's decision to explore other options has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, with Ohio State and USC emerging as frontrunners to land the Penn State coach.
Alabama's new coach Kalen DeBoer has seen several players and recruits leave since Saban's retirement, including star safety Caleb Downs and top returning wide receiver Isaiah Bond.
DeBoer has managed to secure a commitment from one of his former quarterbacks at Washington, Austin Mack, who is expected to provide competitive depth to the Alabama team.
Sayin's departure is a significant loss for Alabama, but the addition of Mack and the return of starting quarterback Jalen Milroe may soften the blow.
