Alabama Football: Crimson Tide numbers crunch and transfer portal choices

Alabama football has its annual numbers crunch. Nick Saban always resolves the issue. Is there anything different this offseason? What to expect as the Crimson Tide roster is trimmed to a maximum of 85 players.

Presented in more detail below, the current 2020 Alabama football roster is 89 (including UNC transfer Carl Tucker) scholarship players. The most recent adjustment was Taulia Tagovailoa into the Transfer Portal. Along with Lia, two other players, Giles Amos and Scooby Carter are also seeking new teams through the Portal. Exiting former Crimson Tide players already with new teams are Nigel Knott, Jonathan Ford and Scott Lashley.
