After a breakout season in which he was the program’s starting right tackle, Alabama Crimson Tide offensive lineman Elijah Pritchett is set to enter the NCAA transfer portal according to reports Saturday night.
Pritchett is likely one of the biggest names from Alabama’s roster to enter the transfer portal, and brings the Crimson Tide’s total number of portal entrants to 25 this offseason.

A former highly-rated four-star prospect in Alabama’s 2022 recruiting class, Pritchett was primarily a reserve during the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Crimson Tide, but as mentioned previously, took the next step this past fall. This included becoming Alabama’s starting right tackle in 2024, a position that he held for a majority of the year.
Pritchett is now the third different Alabama offensive lineman to enter the transfer portal so far this offseason, joining a pair of 2024 reserves in Miles McVay and Naquil Betrand.
