Breaking down Alabama football’s scholarship situation for next season

With players in the transfer portal and others declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft, here’s how the team sits as the offseason nears.

With players continuing to enter the transfer portal, it is almost impossible to truly predict what next year’s roster will look like.

As of right now, Alabama has 83 players on scholarship for next season. That number will likely increase as early National Signing Day is just over one week away.

In Division I, football programs are allowed to have a maximum of 85 scholarship players. Several recruits are projected to sign with the Tide, which would increase the scholarship count. Also, the Tide will likely look to add players through the transfer portal in areas of need.

At this time, Alabama has lost 13 scholarship players to the transfer portal and two walk-ons have also entered. That number could be beneficial to the Alabama coaching staff as it gives them more flexibility to bring in some recruits and transfers.

There could be coaching changes, additional transfers, and draft decisions in the coming weeks. Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor the latest surround the Alabama football program.
