The Alabama Crimson Tide football roster is facing another significant setback following the retirement of Nick Saban.
Left lineman Kadyn Proctor, who was formerly a highly-touted five-star prospect and was recognized as a member of the All-SEC Freshman Team in 2023, has reportedly chosen to use the transfer portal, according to sources from 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, John Talty, and Chris Hummer.
With Proctor’s move, Alabama’s roster now has more players who might leave. Caleb Downs, the SEC Freshman of the Year, is another prominent classmate who may decide to go.
Iowa is starting to look like a potential destination for Proctor, while Georgia is now thought to be the front-runner for Downs.On signing day, Kadyn Proctor—who was regarded as the top offensive lineman and the fifth-best recruit overall in the 2023 cycle—changed his commitment from Iowa to Alabama. Proctor, who began his freshman season as Alabama’s starting left tackle, has now declared on his Instagram account that he plans to transfer.
Kalen DeBoer, previously of Washington, has been selected by Alabama to succeed the late Nick Saban. DeBoer has a successful track record and experience, including a trip to the College Football Playoff National Championship, but he will have to work hard to reorganize the team’s squad in light of recent events.
