Alabama reportedly showing interest in Vanderbilt OT transfer Tyler Steen

Alabama is showing interest in Vanderbilt offensive tackle transfer Tyler Steen

The transfer portal has become one of the most headline-dominating aspects of college football over the last couple of seasons. Alabama head coach Nick Saban has been very selective when targeting prospects from the portal.

It is now being reported that Vanderbilt offensive tackle transfer Tyler Steen will soon be taking a visit to Tuscaloosa.

Alabama will be replacing both of its starting tackles from last season in Evan Neal and Chris Owens but the Tide has recruited the tackle position so well that the Steen addition would be somewhat surprising. But who are we to question Nick Saban?

Steen has started 32 games for the Commodores over the past three seasons and has shown steady improvement throughout his entire career.

How Alabama football transfers are performing with their new programs

Former Alabama players are shining at their new programs!

In this day and age, working the transfer portal is just as important as recruiting for a college program. Alabama has taken advantage, finding two of their best players in Jameson Williams (Ohio State) and Henry To’oto’o (Tennessee) from the portal.

But just as it giveth, the transfer portal can also taketh. Nine players who were on the Crimson Tide’s roster last season ended up transferring out of the program. All landed at Power Five schools as well.

Texas was the most popular destination, with running back Keilan Robinson and outside linebacker Ben Davis following Steve Sarkisian to Austin. The two Los Angeles schools in UCLA and USC are represented, as are rivals Tennessee.

A name fans may recognize the most is kicker Joseph Bulovas. Now at Vanderbilt, he has stepped up as Clark Lea’s placekicker this season.

Here are how Alabama’s class of 2021 transfers are performing at their new schools.
