The Crimson Tide scored a major transfer portal win on Wednesday, but Devan Thompkins won't be enough to offset Alabama's defensive line exodus.
If you expected the status quo in Tuscaloosa after a run to the College Football Playoff quarterfinals this season, Kalen DeBoer and Courtney Morgan have proved you wrong. The Crimson Tide aren’t overhauling everything heading into DeBoer’s third year, but they are giving the defensive line a total rebuild.
On Tuesday, defensive lineman Kelby Collins re-entered the transfer portal after just one season at Alabama, becoming the fifth defensive lineman off Kane Wommack’s unit to test the open market this offseason, joining Noah Carter, Keon Keeley, Qua Russaw, and James Smith.
