Mississippi State defensive lineman transfer, Kedrick Bingley-Jones has committed to transfer to Alabama.
The new Alabama defensive lineman finished the 2025 season with 25 total tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss. He transferred to Mississippi State before the 2024 season. The 6-foot-4, 320-pounder spent two seasons with the Bulldogs.
Bingley-Jones adds starting SEC experience to a Tide defensive line room losing multiple starters. Tim Keenan and LT Overton are both moving on to the NFL. Alabama also lost James Smith to the transfer portal after the former five-star started for most of the season.
The North Carolina native served as a captain during his time in Starkville. This is an attribute the Tide could benefit from.
The Crimson Tide continues to add from the transfer portal.
