After four seasons in Tuscaloosa, Alabama Crimson Tide outside linebacker Keanu Koht will reportedly be entering the NCAA Transfer Portal, becoming the second player from the program to do so during the 2024 season.
Koht, who has not seen action in recent weeks due to a suspension according to Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer, appeared in seven games during the 2024 season for the Crimson Tide, amassing five tackles, one TFL, 0.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
A redshirt junior, Koht is a former four-star, Top 100 prospect from the 2021 class out of Vero Beach High School in Florida that ranked as the nation’s No. 3 overall edge rusher in that cycle.
After redshirting during the 2021 season as a true freshman, Koht has seen action each of the last three seasons at Alabama, a span in which he had a combined nine tackles, three TFL, 0.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Koht now joins former defensive tackle Jehiem Oatis as the lone players to enter the transfer portal from Alabama so far this season.
