Source: Alabama's Antonio Alfano in transfer portal month after dad's tweets

Alabama defensive lineman Antonio Alfano has officially entered the transfer portal, a source told ESPN.

The true freshman was the No. 28-ranked recruit in the 2019 class out of Colonia High School in Colonia, New Jersey, and was the fourth-highest-ranked recruit for the Crimson Tide. Alfano's father, Frankie, tweeted on Sept. 13 that his son would enter the transfer portal and had the option of staying at Alabama.

While supportive of his son's decision, Frankie said in the same tweet that his preference was that Antonio stay at Alabama. Despite those tweets, Antonio Alfano's name didn't show up in the NCAA's transfer portal list until Wednesday.
