🏈 2026 Alabama Roster Management Chart and Portal news

I've not heard anything that specific. Until the portal closes there are going to be some nerves in the building because opposing teams are still reaching out to current players with offers, but I'm not aware of anyone who is for sure bolting as of now (which obviously doesn't mean there isn't). Hopefully, if a DL is wavering, the staff can lock them back down... really can't afford to lose any of those guys at this point.

Any word on Pierre?

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I think we'll likely see a starting 5 among these pieces

Ty Haywood
Jackson Lloyd
Kaeden Strayhorn
Casey Poe
Michael Carroll
William Sanders

My Guess:

LT Jackson Lloyd
LG Ty Haywood
C Casey Poe
RG Kaeden Strayhorn
RT Michael Carroll

Sanders 6th option can play all spots

I think we'll add at least 1 maybe 2 more additions along the OL with some experience to push the young guys a bit...I still like the idea of McBroom and 2 more. Hopefully the guy I linked from Ohio is being looked at. There will be a few more that we could grab before the portal is fully finished..Oregon started pouring into the portal today but likely Oregon and Ole Miss guys will still be hitting the portal over the next few days or at least floating ideas with their Agents.

I'm going to hope they reel in 2 or 3 more plug-n-play guys that can handle SEC level competition.

Any word on Pierre?

IMO, it would take a ridiculous type offer to snag him away.

 

[24and7]

I hope Michael Carroll meant three "years" and out... because three and out player is the "status quo" on our offensive line..

I'm gonna say this. They don't know how to function without each other And to me that's a red flag. What happens if they get to NFL? How they're gonna function. Something tells me Qua keeps Smith in line and without Qua smith likely do stupid things.

I see them in portal next year.

Reuben Foster ?

Reuben Foster ?

Smith does.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Smith does.

He means Reuben had the AU on his arm.

Ohhhhh hell my bad. My son and I were just talking about Foster and his AU tattoo

 

[ElephantStomp]

It’s so weird to me that you would have a schools logo on you like that then go somewhere else

I'm surprised those three haven't found home by now..

Montgomery could see him being brought back into the fold as a depth OL piece. Hampton and Young are gonna have to set their sights to a lower level of competition.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

This is insane. More Bermuda Triangle than portal. There has to be an enforceable penalty for tampering.

Chatter Bama may land the RB Clark from Texas

 

[Justneedme81]

Chatter Bama may land the RB Clark from Texas

It'll be good addition. Take pressure off Crowley. Bring him along slowly.

 

[mando]

I ask this somehwere but can't recall if anyone replied, there was all this talk about no transfers post spring game as a positive indication going into year two under CKD. So what has changed if anything? No idea what is considered normal anymore but this is insane.

Trent Richardson

Still one of my favorites. Was until Yeldon came along. Still looking for a game used jersey of his. Got his Texas BCS gloves.
