glen25+FollowAlabama’s defense just got a major boostAlabama fans finally have something to celebrate: Keon Sabb and Yhonzae Pierre are staying put for another season instead of heading to the NFL. With so many key players leaving this offseason, keeping two of the Tide’s top defensive stars is huge. Sabb, who led the team in snaps, and Pierre, who doubled anyone else’s sack total, bring much-needed stability to a defense that’s been hit hard by departures. Add in some big, athletic transfers on the defensive line, and suddenly Alabama’s defense looks ready to get back to its old, dominant self. How do you feel about these returns? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball51Share
glen25+FollowAlabama welcomes back hometown edge rusherCaleb Smith, a standout edge rusher from Birmingham, is heading back to Alabama after a whirlwind year at the University of Washington. Despite never playing a snap for the Huskies, Smith caught the eye of the Crimson Tide, who didn’t recruit him out of high school but now see his massive potential. With 10 Huskies already finding new homes through the transfer portal, Smith’s return is a big win for Alabama’s defense. What do you think changed Alabama’s mind—and will Smith become a breakout star at home? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
Michael Pitts+FollowAlabama defense faces big shakeup after transfersLosing James Smith and Qua Russaw to Ohio State is a gut punch for Alabama’s defense. These two Montgomery standouts, who came up together through high school and Bama, are now heading north as a package deal. For fans, it’s tough to see such promising talent leave, especially to a powerhouse like the Buckeyes. The pressure is now on Kane Wommack to retool the defense and for Kalen DeBoer to prove he can keep the Tide competitive. How do you feel about these changes? Can Alabama bounce back, or is this a sign of bigger shifts ahead? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
Aaron Taylor+FollowBirmingham’s Caleb Smith joins Alabama’s D-lineAlabama’s defensive line just got a boost with Birmingham native Caleb Smith transferring in from Washington. Smith, a 6’5”, 270-pound redshirt freshman, brings four years of eligibility and the physical tools coaches love. With the Bandit rotation thinned by departures, Smith’s arrival is a big deal for depth and future potential. It’s interesting to see a local talent return home after heading out west, and it shows how active the Tide are in the transfer portal. What do you think—will Smith make an impact this season, or is he more of a long-term project? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
John Camacho+FollowAlabama’s new WR could shake up the offenseAlabama just landed Noah Rogers, a former top recruit who started at Ohio State and became a standout at NC State. With nearly 1,000 yards and 3 touchdowns over two seasons, Rogers brings serious playmaking ability to Tuscaloosa. Coach Kalen DeBoer is clearly building a dynamic offense, and Rogers’ arrival could be a game-changer for the Crimson Tide’s passing attack. It’s exciting to see how this fresh talent will fit into DeBoer’s system. What do you think—will Rogers become Alabama’s next breakout star? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
glen25+FollowAlabama football’s transfer portal shakeupAlabama football just edged past Auburn in the transfer portal rankings, but it’s not exactly bragging rights—both teams are near the bottom of the SEC. After missing out on top targets like Cam Coleman (who went to Texas), the Tide added Ty Haywood and Noah Rogers to climb to No. 56, barely ahead of Auburn. The bigger story? Programs with deep-pocketed boosters are making it tough for traditional powerhouses like Alabama and Auburn to compete for transfers. Is the SEC’s high-roller era leaving old rivals behind? What do you think this means for the future of college football? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
Michael Pitts+FollowAlabama’s William Sanders steps up for 2026Alabama’s offensive line is about to look very different, but one local name is set to play a major role: William Sanders. Despite not starting last season, Sanders logged action in all 16 games and has earned the trust of coaches with his grit and versatility. Now, with so many starters leaving, he’s one of the few with real SEC experience left in the trenches. For a kid who grew up just 30 minutes from campus, it’s a dream come true—and a huge opportunity. How do you feel about the Tide relying on homegrown talent for their next chapter? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
Christopher Hughes+FollowCould Justice Haynes return to Alabama?Alabama football fans are still reeling after losing not one, but two top transfer targets to Texas in a matter of minutes. The sudden exit of Hollywood Smothers has left a big hole at running back, but there’s a twist: Justice Haynes, a former Crimson Tide standout, is now in the transfer portal. With Georgia Tech reportedly offering Haynes over $2 million for 2026, the question is whether Alabama will step up and bring him home. Would a Haynes-Crowell duo restore the Tide’s backfield dominance? What would you do if you were in charge? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
Christopher Hughes+FollowAlabama’s new O-line move: Smart risk or reach?Alabama is looking to shore up its offensive line by targeting Racin Delgatty, a center who’s only allowed one sack in over 1,300 snaps—but all at the FCS level with Cal Poly. Some fans are skeptical about bringing in players from smaller programs, but recent success stories (like Trinidad Chambliss at Ole Miss) show that talent can come from anywhere. With offers from UCLA and Michigan too, Delgatty could be a valuable depth piece or even a future starter. Is it time to rethink what makes a recruit ‘elite’ in today’s college football? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
glen25+FollowAlabama football faces another big roster shakeupLosing top talent to the transfer portal is becoming a tough reality for Alabama fans. Four-star edge rusher Noah Carter just committed to Georgia Tech, leaving the Crimson Tide with another gap to fill after their Rose Bowl struggles. While Alabama has added some promising names—like Devan Thompkins from USC and punter Adam Watford—seeing key players exit is a reminder of how quickly things can change in college football. What do you think: Is this just part of the new normal, or should fans be worried about the Tide’s future? #Sports #Football #AlabamaFootball00Share
