The Alabama Crimson Tide Faces a Crucial 2025-26 Football Season
The Alabama Crimson Tide entered the 2024-25 college football season with high hopes, boasting the second-shortest odds to win the National Championship. However, in the newly-expanded 12-team playoff format, the Tide fell short, marking a rocky start to the post-Nick Saban era under head coach Kalen DeBoer. After finishing 9-3 in the regular season, Alabama lost to unranked Michigan, 19-13, in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
Transfer Portal Key to Alabama’s 2025 Roster
As Alabama’s roster evolves, the transfer portal will play a significant role in shaping the team for next season. Players have until January 6 to declare for the transfer portal, leaving fans eager to see who stays and who departs.
Wide receiver Jaren Hamilton became the first Crimson Tide player to enter the portal following their bowl loss to Michigan. A top receiver commitment from the Class of 2023, Hamilton is the fifth Alabama wideout to transfer this offseason. Rebuilding the receiving corps will be a priority, and Alabama is already making moves.
The Crimson Tide secured Miami’s Isaiah Horton before Christmas. Horton, a 6-foot-4 receiver with two years of eligibility, had 616 receiving yards and 56 catches with the Hurricanes. Alabama also added Derrick Meadows, the No. 7 receiver from the Class of 2025, but they are expected to remain active in the portal for more playmakers.
