The number is now at 10 for Alabama football student-athletes that have entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Big things must be on the horizon for the freshmen class, as Chadarius Townsend becomes the latest name to be entered into the portal.

Townsend, a four-star from Tanner (Ala.) High School, came to the Crimson Tide as a talented athlete in the 2017 signing class. Nick Saban has played him at running back, wide receiver and defensive back; however, he has yet to have an opportunity to develop at one position.
