The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh and on Thursday, the Alabama Crimson Tide lost a fan favorite. Reports were released early on Thursday that the Florida native would enter the portal ahead of Alabama’s College Football Playoff semifinal matchup with Michigan.
Brooks has been a good player for the Crimson Tide since his true freshman season in 2021. Brooks delivered one of the most clutch plays in Alabama football history as a true freshman with his 28-yard touchdown reception from Bryce Young against Auburn to send the game into overtime.
Late Thursday night, Brooks released a heartfelt statement regarding his portal entry as he bid farewell to the Tide, and Alabama fans were quick to react.
