🏈 2026 Alabama Roster Management Chart and Portal news

[alabama mike]

38-of-39 on extra points
21-of-26 on field goals
4-of-6 on field goals of 50+ yards
Ranked third in the Sun Belt in scoring (101 points)
Broke Marshall’s single-season field goal record (21)
Broke Marshall’s career record for 50-yard field goals (4) in one season
Hit the second-longest field goal in program history (55 yards vs. Coastal Carolina)
Tied Marshall’s single-game record with four field goals (vs. Texas State)

Looking like we're in the mix here could be letting Talty go as well

Also, this is the first time this guy has ever kicked the football. He was a kid from Ireland that just joined Marshall this year so give him an off-season and he'll probably be better than these stats show.

Excellent kicker!

I don't believe Bama is willing to spend the big dollars to sign these tip top guys. You have to consider how paying huge dollars will register with your roster. I know you can't keep everyone happy. Trying to thread the needle.

I almost think it's becoming a better benefit to lose a kid during the recruitment year, let another team pay to develop them and then grab them in the transfer portal for 1 or 2 years start later... College football has come to a very ugly state, IMO.

 

[94 Grad]

Do they tell a player to move on that isn't a high dollar value player that is a second string guy, or are they only telling guys to leave that aren't playing to the level of their pay?

Verbally told to leave, I doubt that is common since roster scholarship is now 105; however, told via NiL/Rev-share.... absolutely. IE, you are not getting any rev-share, but we'd love to have you on the team.

Welp Ross signed with LSU the hope was there that he might leave today and visit bama but didn’t go our way

 

[TerryP]

So at this point we have basically not fixed any of our issues at OL. Potential RB help, DL help but need more help there as well.

Curious. How do you come to that conclusion when we don't even know who is on the offensive line in a few weeks?

 

[TerryP]

And Texas Tech is also bringing in a solid passing QB from the portal if I remember correctly.

Cincy guy...probably has more experience than any other QB in the portal. I know his snaps are "up there."

It was the one thing TTU didn't have last season and as I've mentioned it is one thing that didn't make a lick of sense to me.

I see the reasoning. Here's where I see a problem. They'd be cutting off a lot in terms of numbers. Programs, and cultures, can be so different from each other.

Here's what I mean ...

Let's say Billy went to A&M as a result of being caught up in their NIL spending spree a couple of years ago. He's been in that culture for a few years and hits the portal. Is he a fit for your locker room? You're looking at a talent pool who haven't been a part of the culture you've built inside the football building.

Waxing Biblical ... "train up a child in the way it should go" or something like that?

True frosh or redshirt frosh. How much greater is the benefit of having them in your program in their "formative" years?

OR, you were getting X amount last season. That number will be the same this season...like a job eval where you don't get a raise and you know one isn't coming.

would rather keep Horton..

The day #1 Horton blocks someone will the 1st time. Have no problem with him leaving. He kind of reminds me of Coach Bryant's "give 110% percent plan".

A player giving 110-120% of his ability can defeat a player giving 80% of their ability. To me, Horton falls in that 80% range too often.

Give us a quick rundown for today and weekend ... Who's the new names etc.

oh i get it... I'm just being sarcastic in my comment. The state of recruiting and NiL is really killing college football for me... maybe this new generation will enjoy it, but I hate it.

I said “at this point”! We have whiffed on Ross and Peak so far.

How did we whiffed if they never made it to the campus? What are they supposed to do? Wave a magic stick and poof, they magically show up on the campus?

Never got a chance to pitch them in person can’t expect to land a recruit who never visits

 

[Slickmullet]

Geez. It’s not that difficult. They were CLEARLY targets. Bama has to just move on now.

They been moved on. They got bunch of ppl coming in for the weekend.

JMO but the agent of both were told before any visit how much to expect from Bama. If that amount is close to the magic number expected, then a visit is setup. Otherwise no since going to the trouble of a visit. I don't consider the #1 player in the portal for any position as a possible player that Bama will sign due to the amount of money they will demand. Might be one exception per cycle but never more than 2.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Things change quick, but as of now, it’s trending for Bama and Cam Coleman. Hopefully it stays that way.
