The Bama247 team has its finger on the pulse of Alabama transfer portal news, recruiting, staff moves and more as Kalen DeBoer enters a critical second year in Tuscaloosa

The Texas A&M football program has landed a commitment from a former Alabama and Texas tight end in the transfer portal.

One of Alabama football’s transfer portal departures has found his new home. Defensive edge rusher Jayshawn Ross has committed to Kansas State, he announced on social media Tuesday. Ross spent one season with Alabama, and didn’t get much time on the field. He played only in the Crimson Tide’s win over Mercer late in the regular season.

Alabama football is still in the roster-building stages ahead of the 2025 season. A few pieces are locked in with LT Overton, Justin Jefferson, Domani Jackson and Deontae Lawson each returning for the 2025 season.

In Kalen DeBoer’s first season at Alabama, he brought in 14 transfers. Most of which were starters or key contributors for the Crimson Tide in 2024. Since the conclusion of the 2024 season, DeBoer and the Crimson Tide have landed seven transfers.

Wiggins is the 12th portal transfer for South Alabama in the current cycle, and third offensive lineman. The Jaguars have also added senior Ni Mansell (South Carolina) and sophomore Leavy Johnson (Western Kentucky) since the end of the 2024 season.
