Who Alabama football lost in extra transfer portal window after CFP

The extra transfer portal window Alabama players received due to participating in the College Football Playoff has closed. That means undergraduate members of the Crimson Tide won’t be able to enter the portal until April in most circumstances.

As expected, the Tide saw some attrition. Overall, 11 Alabama players hit the portal since the season ended, joining another five who entered before the loss to Michigan in the CFP semifinals.

Here’s the UA players who entered the portal during the various windows, and where they’re heading, if that’s known.

Entered portal before end of season

Thaiu Jones-Bell– Wide receiver

Jones-Bell wasn’t on Alabama’s roster for the 2023 season, due to taking a medical year. He entered the portal as soon as the December window opened.

Tyler Buchner– Quarterback (Notre Dame lacrosse)

Buchner battled for Alabama’s starting quarterback job early in the year but took a seat behind Jalen Milroe after struggling at South Florida. He’ll head back to his previous school, Notre Dame, to play a new sport.

Ja’Corey Brooks– Wide receiver (Louisville)

Brooks dealt with injuries throughout the season. He’s off to Louisville.

Isaiah Hastings– Defensive lineman

Another Alabama player who entered the portal before the postseason. Hastings played in just one game during his two seasons with the Crimson Tide, making one tackle against ULM in 2022.
