Clemson fans are thrilled that Dabo Swinney remains their head coach following the retirement of Nick Saban, while Alabama deals with many departures as a new head coach takes over.
Former Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer is the new Crimson Tide head coach and will head into the next season without a lot of key players from their 2023 team. The most recent loss is a huge one.
According to reports from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, freshman All-American standout Caleb Downs is entering the transfer portal. A massive loss for the program, Downs enters the transfer portal as one of, if not the best, defender available.
There is no telling where Downs will land, but wherever he goes, he is getting a star.
