The Alabama Crimson Tide have consistently been among the best teams in college football since Nick Saban took over. Alabama has not lost more than two games in a season since 2010 and has not lost more than three games since 2007. They will be making their eighth appearance in the College Football Playoff, having reached the championship game six times, winning three, all of which are the most in the 10-year history of the current format.
While there was plenty of controversy regarding whether or not the Florida State Seminoles were snubbed, the Crimson Tide received the final postseason seed thanks to another strong season. Alabama finished the regular season as SEC Champions with a 12-1 record, which included a 9-0 record in SEC play.
While their focus remains on winning a national title, the Crimson Tide were not exempt from the transfer portal news that dominated the college football world on Monday as over 1,000 players entered their names.

Tyler Buchner joined the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as a four-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. He appeared in 13 games for the Fighting Irish, throwing for 949 yards, six touchdowns and eight interceptions. Buchner completed 56.8% of his passes while adding 459 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 82 carries.
He joined the Alabama Crimson Tide via the transfer portal ahead of the 2023 season. Buchner appeared in two games, completing just eight of 19 passes for 61 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. He added 20 rushing yards and one touchdown on three carries. Buchner announced his decision to enter the transfer portal on Dec. 4, and will reportedly enter as a lacrosse transfer.
#2: Thaiu Jones-Bell
Thaiu Jones-Bell joined the Alabama Crimson Tide as a four-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. He has appeared in just 11 games, catching four passes for 19 yards and no touchdowns. Jones-Bell did not suit up in 2023 as he was reportedly taking a medical redshirt year. He announced his decision to enter the transfer portal on Dec. 4.
#3: Isaiah Hastings
An important addition to the Alabama defense, back in 2022, Hastings entered the transfer portal as a redshirt freshman. Hastings has three years of eligibility left with his new team.
#4: Ja'Corey Brooks
After suffering a shoulder injury at the start of the season, Brooks fell out of favor for the starting job, limiting him to 9 appearances and 3 catches for 30 yards. Brooks has one more year of eligibility left with his new team.
#5: Anquin Barnes
Another player that could not crack the starting rotation for the Crimson Tide, Anquin Barnes entered the transfer portal after just two appearances in the last two seasons.
#6: Roydell Williams
Joining the long list of players to enter the transfer portal after Alabama's Rose Bowl loss was RB Roydell Williams. RB2 for the season behind Jase McClellan, Williams put up 560 yards, and five touchdowns over the season averaging five yards per carry.
#7: Malik Benson
A junior-year wide receiver, Benson appeared in 10 games for the Crimson Tide, but only finished the season with 13 receptions, putting up 162 yards and a touchdown. Benson entered the transfer portal on Jan.4 and will now look for a new team.
#8: Terrence Ferguson
Formerly a four-star recruit from the 2020 class, Ferguson committed to Floirda State before shifting his focus towards the Crimson Tide. With two years of eligibility remaining, Ferguson will have potential suitors as the 6-foot-4 lineman can play both guard and center.
#9: Isaiah Bond
Alabama's leading receiver for the 2023 season, Isaiah Bond entered the transfer portal in the wake of Coach Saban's retirement. Bond put up 888 receiving yards, and five touchdowns over the last two seasons.

#11. Caleb Downs, S
One of the best safeties in the SEC, Caleb Downs entering the transfer portal deals a major blow to the Crimson Tide's aspirations for next season. Downs accounted for 70 tackles, one forced fumble, two interceptions and three passes defended this season.
