Any time you can get a returning starter back - especially in the Transfer Portal era - it's a win for your football team. When that returning starter just so happens to be a likely 2026 team captain and potential preseason All-American, it's even better.

His return was bigger than any of Alabama's portal additions so far this cycle, and bigger than any that are yet to come.
