Will Louisville speedster Tyler Harrell be the next transfer portal treasure for Nick Saban?

Rival fans of Alabama football are getting frustrated with Nick Saban’s dominance in the NCAA transfer portal.

He pulled out an electric wide receiver in Jameson Williams last summer, and now has Jermaine Burton from Georgia.

Coach Saban has his eyes on another explosive speedster. Tyler Harrell, a native of Miami, Fla., has recently entered his name into the portal. The 6-foot, 197-pounder was in a run-heavy offense at Louisville, but his skill set is incredible. He caught 18 passes in 2021 for 523 yards receiving and six touchdowns in 13 games. Harrell excels at acceleration, top-end speed, breakaway speed, and creating separation in his routes.
