Former Alabama IOL Terrence Ferguson transfers to Florida State

Former Alabama interior offensive lineman Terrence Ferguson announced that he was transferring to Florida State.

Former Alabama interior offensive lineman Terrence Ferguson announced that he was transferring to Florida State on Thursday afternoon.

Ferguson, a Georgia native, spent three seasons at Alabama. During that time, Ferguson played in 11 games. The lone start of his Alabama career came against South Florida in Week 3 of the 2023 season.

Ferguson is the third former Alabama player who has transferred to the Seminoles. He joins former teammates, Earl Little Jr. and Malik Benson. The three will likely team up again next season in Tallahassee to play for head coach Mike Norvell.

Needless to say, it will be interesting to see how Ferguson performs at Florida State. He was expected to compete for the starting center position at Alabama next season. Now, he will look to earn a spot along the Seminoles offensive line.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the latest news regarding the Alabama football program and its former players in the NCAA transfer portal.

Nick Saban provides latest injury update for two Alabama players

On Wednesday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban provided the latest update on the status of two injured players — Deontae Lawson and Terrence Ferguson.

In Week 4, Alabama saw several of its key players suffer injuries. Two of the players that were sidelined during the game were linebacker Deontae Lawson and offensive guard Terrence Ferguson. On Wednesday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban mentioned that both players were unable to practice on Wednesday and are “very questionable” for this weekend’s matchup against Mississippi State.

Lawson and Ferguson both suffered ankle injuries in Alabama’s Week 4 win against Ole Miss.

Lawson starts at MIKE linebacker and is in charge of defensive alignment. Through four games, Lawson recorded 26 tackles and two sacks.

Ferguson was a reserve offensive guard but entered the game after starting right guard Darrian Dalcourt suffered an apparent injury. It was not long after Ferguson came into replace Dalcourt that he too was injured.

Needless to say, the Crimson Tide will likely be without two key contributors against the Bulldogs.

10 Alabama players who should see more playing time in Week 3 matchup against USF

Changes must be made if Alabama wants a shot at the College Football Playoff. Here are 10 names to look out for.

There have been some good things and some bad things that the Alabama football team has done throughout the first two weeks of the season.

Some of the biggest concerns have been the inconsistency at the quarterback position and the inability to effectively create a pass rush. Those two issues will need to be cleaned up moving forward. Alabama could be in for a long, long season ahead if not.

With that said Roll Tide Wire takes a closer look at 10 players that should see more playing time in Alabama’s Week 3 matchup against USF as the Crimson Tide looks to run the table in the remaining 10 games of the season.

Alabama Football: 5 names to watch for the remainder of fall camp

5 players Alabama football fans should watch for the remainder of fall camp!

In less than four weeks, [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team will take the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium to take on Middle Tennessee State to begin its 2023 season. Now that fall camp is underway, we are starting to get a better sense of what this version of the Crimson Tide might look like.

With Alabama still in the early stages of fall camp, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at a handful of players who are making some noise and should be closely watched for the remainder of fall practice.

Let’s roll through the list!

Alabama football names its Student-Athletes of the Week

Ferguson, Young, and Holstein earn this week’s Student-Athletes of the Week!

We are currently right in the middle of the college football offseason, but with the SEC media days around the corner and recruiting news virtually around the clock, the content surrounding the Alabama Crimson Tide never ends.

On Thursday, Alabama released this week’s recipients of the Student-Athletes of the Week. Redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Terrence “TJ” Ferguson, freshman running back Richard Young, and freshman quarterback Eli Holstein each earned the honor this week.

While not a starter just yet, Ferguson is right in the mix for the left guard position with senior Darrian Dalcourt. Young joined the Tide this summer and although the backfield is loaded heading into 2023, I wouldn’t count out the five-star from making an impact this fall. Holstein is a quarterback with a ton of upside but will likely need a couple more years of development before he is ready to carry the Crimson Tide.

Congratulations to these young men for their outstanding work in the classroom and on the gridiron.

Five sleepers on Alabama’s offense heading into the 2023 college football season!

We are now under two months away from the start of the 2023 college football season. Now, it truly feels like it is just around the corner. Before you know it, Nick Saban and the Alabama football team will be taking the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium to play the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders on Sept. 2.

As we patiently await kickoff in early September, I thought we could dive into some players on Alabama’s roster who are being slept on entering the 2023 season. We will start things off on the offensive side of the ball, where most of the conversations this offseason have centered around the ongoing quarterback battle, but I assure you, there is plenty of other positions and players to discuss from now until kickoff.

Let’s begin, shall we?
