Alabama punter Skyler Delong is no longer listed on the Alabama team roster, but according to sources, Long has not entered the transfer portal, and could also choose to stay at Alabama.
DeLong played in 12 in the past two seasons, 5 of which were in 2019.
In his career, he has recorded 26 punts for 881 yards, and averaged 33.9 yards per punt. 7 punts landed inside the 20 yard line, and 2 punts were 50+ yards.
He was eventually replaced by freshman Ty Perine who went on to be named to the SEC All-Freshman Team.
Nick Saban did comment on DeLong during Alabama’s 2019 A-day game:
“See, nobody wants to talk about the punter. But that guy was a freshman last year, aight, and he was like very, very nervous. And he’s gotten a lot better. And people should believe in development. Everybody wants an immediate outcome instead of focusing on what you have to do to get an outcome.”
