Coaching staff changes may be coming soon for Alabama football, but the exodus of players is happening.

Six athletes entered their names into the NCAA transfer portal in November. One removed his name — Khyree Jackson — but he will re-enter next Monday.

The Crimson Tide mostly had offensive players in the portal, including Trey Sanders (running back), Traeshon Holden (wide receiver), and Christian Leary (wide receiver). Tide fans were shocked to see Leary enter the portal, especially with his potential as an elite speed receiver. The former four-star from Florida caught five passes for 106 yards and a touchdown during this year’s spring game. Bill O’Brien, Alabama’s offensive coordinator, never utilized his skill set in games.

We could see more players hit the portal after the postseason, but several fans reacted to the names already leaving.
