How Alabama transfers performed in their Week 6 matchups

Check in on some former Alabama players and how they performed this past weekend at their new programs.

Alabama has had quite a few transfers over the years. Several have been key losses for the program while others haven’t. Some of the more notable transfers from a season ago were Drew Sanders, Agiye Hall, and Jahleel Billingsley. Others like Taulia Tagovailoa, Eyabi Anoma, and Eddie Smith have all been at their new programs for more than a year.

Some have gone to play for some of Nick Saban’s assistants like Butch Jones (Arkansas State) and Mike Locksley (Maryland). The transfer portal has changed college football and will continue to do so for years to come.

Some areas of concern ahead of Alabama’s Week 6 matchup against the Texas A&M Aggies.

Alabama players, coaches, and fans are well aware of what the outcome was last season against Texas A&M. It was one of the worst-played games since Nick Saban became the coach at Alabama. As a result, the Crimson Tide have had to wait a year to avenge their loss to the Aggies.

It has created a lot of friction between the programs. After Saban stated his strong opinion on the state of college football in the name, image, likeness (NIL) era, especially the Aggies football recruiting philosophies, Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher responded by calling him a narcissist.

It hasn’t sat well with the Alabama faithful. However, the time has now come for Alabama to settle the feud on the gridiron. On Saturday, the Crimson Tide will host the Aggies for a highly anticipated Week 6 matchup..
