Coach Prime will make a lot of noise in the transfer portal, and a former five-star running back could be his first option. Trey Sanders reached out to Prime via a tweet on social media, asking him “You got room for me Unc..?” Sanders came to the Crimson Tide in its 2019 recruiting class from Florida. He entered with great potential and under big expectations, but multiple injuries prevented him from flourishing. Sanders recorded three rushing touchdowns in four seasons at Alabama, including one this year.

He was on two Southeastern Conference Championship teams (2020 and 2021) and a College Football Playoff National Championship team in 2020.
