Proctor began his college career at Alabama where he started 13 games as a true freshman last season before transferring to Iowa following the retirement of head coach Nick Saban. During his single season, Proctor was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team as he helped the Crimson Tide win the SEC championship and reach the College Football Playoff.
The transfer portal will open on April 16 which is when Proctor will re-enter his name but he also confirmed several reports on social media that he will be returning to the Crimson Tide this fall.
According to a recent ruling, the NCAA will allow multi-time transfers to play immediately meaning Proctor can re-take his starting role on the offensive line this fall.
