Sounds like we desperately need a punter.
Bama Transfer Portal targets 2025?
- Thread starter Bama Lee
- Start date
Pretty good rundown here:
Live Alabama football transfer portal tracker 2025: Who's out, in after Crimson Tide spring?
Follow along here as the Crimson Tide navigates the 10-day transfer portal window.

We are DEEP at DE with 5 guys competing for a single spot and already brought in two transfers (Collins and Henry) so I'd be pretty surprised to make an add there. We've also got Latham who played this spot last year but is now listed as an OLB but will almost certainly get some game time in this type of role also.
DT/NT on the other hand, would not surprise me. We've only got 2 guys across both those spots who have played any real reps. We're thin enough here that Collins (above) spent time sliding inside (even though playing inside is possibly a reason he left FL) to one of these spots in spring. past that there's a lot of potential, but little to no experience.
We have added an experienced punter during the winter portal:
- P Blake Doud (Colorado School of Mines)
Apparently we might go after this guy
Don't know anything about him or if he would be good for us, but it's this type of situation the portal *should be* used for! A guy playing at Troy who could possibly move up to play at Bama!
"Alabama isn't going to get involved in any bidding wars, but they will look to improve around the margins. Some under the radar depth additions are likely."

Kalen DeBoer predicts there will be some activity for Alabama in the spring Transfer Portal
The spring Portal window opened on Wednesday for 10 days. So far, Alabama football hasn't seen a single player enter the portal, and they haven't landed a commi

I wouldn't expect to hear much til next week.
The only positions I expect we target, barring suprise losses, are
Tight end- specifically a Y blocking tight end to back up Danny Lewis. Would not expect us in play for an H type or high end receiving TE.
Punter- only real mystery on the team given aspurovs injury over the spring. And not being sure about doud.
DT- saw someone predict and DE but we have a log jam there and things with keely appears to have finally clicked (excited to see him play) kelby collins practiced almost exclusively at dt so that and beamans emergence us some depth. Maybe we look for a depth piece at dt or not but not as big a priority with collins moving inside
OT - we are good at gaurd and the starting tackle spots are spoken for (reports seem to be that formby has stepped up big) olaus has also reportedly looked very good at tackle and Lloyd is much firther along than anyone expected, he will play this year. But depth would be nice.
I would expect any other position none of our spring additions will be big signings and I wouldn't expect us to start any of them barring injuries. Depth depth depth.

I kind of like where we are going into the Summer. Not a bunch of guys bolting to the portal from T-Town so Coach seems to be making this team in his image successfully. Not a lot of hype on us and we are flying under the radar regarding expectations. Just get the feeling we are going to see a way better product on the field in 25 as a team and the offense will be uber aggressive with our new OC.
I don't think we need any DL. I think with Hill, Beaman, Keely, Collins and Renaud adding depth to our starters we are good to go. Maybe an edge pass rusher.
Thinking the staff saw the punting situation not developing like they wanted to this spring and may be looking around. We got spoiled with Burnip.
No problem..a quick trip to Australia and they are a dime a dozen down there...any Aussie Rules player will be a capable punter! lol
Absolutely spot on. Some solid players at those spots and true needs for our team.
Cotton and Steen are solid. The DE out of UNC..."Come on Down!" and we gots to get a TE and Punter for REALS!
Not being a smart aleck, think I’m confused…
Cotton & Steen are solid what?
Im not convinced we NEED one either just a luxury add at a heavy rotational position.
Do we think that Talty is ready to be the starter, or are we going to look for a kicker in the portal?
We're very, very deep on the edges compared to inside, especially since we got portal additions in spring for both wolf and bandit (although one bandit might slide inside)
Wolf - Qua, Latham, Pierre, Henry & Carter (Latham and Henry are both possible tweaners who can play Bandit also in some packages)
Bandit - Overton, Collins (could slide inside), Keeley, Renaud, Hill.
Inside across two spots is Keenan and Smith, backed up by Beaman, Faga, and Mboumou.
So 5 guys across 2 roles inside, and 10 guys across 2 roles on the edge.
