Alabama football transfer portal tracker: Where Crimson Tide stands Jan. 12

As the NCAA transfer portal opens in early 2026, Alabama football has experienced significant roster changes. The Crimson Tide has seen numerous players depart, including wide receivers Aeryn "Bubba" Hampton and Jalen Hale, and defensive linemen Keon Keeley and James Smith. Many players have found new homes, such as Kameron Howard and Noah Carter at Georgia Tech, and Wilkin Formby at Texas A&M.

Meanwhile, Alabama has reinforced its roster by acquiring several players via the transfer portal. Key additions include tight end Josh Ford from Oklahoma State, linebacker Caleb Woodson from Virginia Tech, and defensive lineman Kedrick Bingley-Jones from Mississippi State. These changes illustrate Alabama's ongoing efforts to rebuild and strengthen its team for the upcoming season. The transfer portal window remains open until January 16, with an additional period for teams in the CFP National Championship from January 20-24.
