Top Washington Huskies who opted for the transfer portal following Kalen DeBoer's Alabama switch ft. Jabbar Muhammad

The Washington Huskies had a tremendous season in 2023, finishing the year 14-1 as the No.2 ranked team in the nation. The Huskies reached the College Football Playoff National Championship Game before falling short to the Michigan Wolverines.

Following Nick Saban's retirement from the Alabama Crimson Tide, Huskies head coach Kalen DeBoer accepted the position with the Crimson Tide on Jan. 12. His departure gave Washington players 30 days to enter the transfer portal, and eight players have already taken advantage of that opportunity, joining six players who did so prior to DeBoer's departure.

Here's a look at those eight players who entered the transfer portal:
