Alabama reserve punter Ty Perine has entered the transfer portal

Alabama loses another player to the transfer portal

You could almost field an entire team with former Alabama players that are now in the transfer portal. Now Crimson Tide reserve punter Ty Perine has officially entered his name into the portal as well.

The Prattville, Alabama native first arrived in Tuscaloosa as a walk-on in 2019. He eventually earned a spot as the starting punter and averaged 44.7 yards per punt on 13 attempts. Perine’s production earned him Freshman All-SEC selection by the league coaches. Perine would not see any action in either the 2020 or 2021 seasons.

Perine announced his entry into the NCAA transfer portal on his Twitter account on Tuesday. Perine will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Analysis: Ty Perine became an Alabama fan-favorite through his first season in Tuscaloosa. After seeing inconsistencies at the punter position with Skyler DeLong, Perine assumed the starting role during the Tennessee game and displayed a strong leg.

The issue with Perine, like is most cases with young legs, was consistency, and the hope is that he can hone his craft during the offseason to become a more reliable option consistently.

But considering he went from being a somewhat unknown walk-on outside of the Prattville area to being named Freshman All-SEC by the Coaches, Perine has proven that he’s capable of improvement and surprising people, so don’t be surprised if he turns some heads during Year 2.
