Analysis: As of right now, it’s unlikely that Giles Amos is on the Alabama roster for the 2020 season. The former walk-on tight end is currently in the transfer portal and looking for a new home, after all.

The decision to finish his career elsewhere makes sense, as his chances at meaningful playing time were diminished by the additions of North Carolina grad transfer Carl Tucker and three-star freshman Caden Clark out of Akron (Ohio).

Whether he sticks around or not, it’s always nice to see player who wasn’t highly recruited create for himself as a non-scholarship athlete, which is exactly what Amos did during his time in Tuscaloosa.
