While there is still a game to be played for the Alabama Crimson Tide on Dec. 31 against the Michigan Wolverines in the ReliaQuest Bowl, a majority of the talk surrounding the program the past couple of weeks has however been the transfer portal.
Having opened earlier this month, Alabama saw numerous players announce their intentions to enter the portal, with many going on to transfer to different teams for the 2025 season.
However, two of those names have since withdrawn from the portal in order to return to Tuscaloosa next season, while Alabama has also recently heated up by landing multiple commits after not adding many during the start of the month.
As of Sunday, Dec. 22, Alabama has added a total of five players through the transfer portal, which are as follows: Florida Gators defensive lineman Kelby Collins, Utah Utes cornerback Cameron Calhoun, Texas A&M Aggies offensive lineman Kam Dewberry, Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Isaiah Horton, and Colorado Buffaloes linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green.
According to 247Sports Team Rankings, that group ranks No. 19 nationally in college football, but the Crimson Tide do hold the fewest commits of any team within the Top 25. Alabama’s average player ranking of a 90.00 is also the second-highest of any team in the Top 25 currently, trailing only the No. 8 ranked Oregon Ducks at a 90.33 with six total commitments.
In terms of the SEC, Alabama’s transfer portal class currently ranks No. 10, but the Crimson Tide have the highest average player ranking of any team, and have fewer commits than every team ahead of them.
While it is still likely that Alabama continues to add going forward, it’s clear already that the Crimson Tide have one of the most talented transfer portal classes in college football, even with only five commitments.
The only question left is, just who will Kalen DeBoer and Co. add to this group in the coming days and weeks?
