With transfer season in full swing, Alabama is set for a busy offseason with departures and new additions as it looks to build up its roster ahead of the 2025 campaign.
The winter transfer portal will run from Dec. 9-28, with another spring window open from April 16-25, 2025. The Tide will look to replenish some holes in its roster during both periods, while a few Alabama players will also look toward opportunities elsewhere.
Tide Illustrated's transfer portal tracker will have the latest updates on Crimson Tide players in the portal throughout the entire window. Here's the latest on players who are set to depart during the winter window.
QB Dylan Lonergan expected to enter transfer portal (Dec. 11)
Alabama quarterback Dylan Lonergan is expected to enter the transfer portal, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
Lonergan completed 7 of 8 pass attempts for 35 yards over two seasons with the Crimson Tide. Lonergan was behind starting quarterback Jalen Milroe and backup Ty Simpson on the depth chart this season, along with Washington quarterback transfer Austin Mack. Lonergan appeared in two game, completing 5 of 6 pass attempts in limited action during Alabama's win over Mercer.
The redshirt freshman quarterback was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2023 from Brookwood High School in Snellville, Georgia. He was rated as the No. 13 quarterback in his high school class and will have three years of eligibility remaining at his next destination.
Milroe, who could enter the 2025 NFL Draft, still has one year of eligibility remaining for Alabama. Along with Simpson and Mack the Tide also signed five-star quarterback Keelon Russell, who was recently named the Gatorade National Football Player of the Year.
DL Hunter Osborne to enter transfer portal (Dec. 9)
Alabama defensive lineman Hunter Osborne plans to enter the transfer portal, according to a report that Osborne also posted on Instagram.
Osborne arrived at Alabama as a four-star recruit and the No. 234 player in the Class of 2023 out of Hewitt-Trussville (Ala.) High School. He redshirted his freshman campaign and appeared in four games this season, logging three tackles and a pass deflection.
"Blessed to have the opportunity to say I was a part of the Crimson Tide," Osborne said in a post on X. "Looking forward to the blessings to come in the future."
Osborne will have three seasons of eligibility remaining at his next destination. Alabama has seen nine players enter the transfer portal as of Monday morning.
TE Danny Lewis Jr. to enter transfer portal (Dec. 9)
Alabama tight end Danny Lewis Jr. will enter the transfer portal which is now officially open to undergraduate players. Lewis appeared in 31 games in three seasons with the Crimson Tide and played in every game this season. However, the redshirt sophomore only has just one catch for five yards which came against Chattanooga in 2023.
Lewis was a three-star prospect in the Class of 2022 from New Iberia, Louisiana. In addition to his now-expected departure, the Tide will also lose veteran tight ends CJ Dippre and Robbie Ouzts, who are both out of eligibility after this season. The Tide added four-star recruits Marshall Pritchett and Kaleb Edwards during the 2025 recruiting cycle.
WR Kendrick Law to enter transfer portal (Dec.8)
Alabama wide receiver Kendrick Law is expected to enter the transfer portal, which opens Monday. Law is the third player from Alabama to enter the portal Sunday, joining fellow wideout Caleb Odom and offensive lineman Miles McVay.
Law had 10 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown this season. The former four-star recruit in the Class of 2022 was expected to have a bigger role in the Tide’s offense this season after catching 15 passes for 135 yards in 2023. Law started the season as the No. 1 option at the X receiver position on Alabama's depth chart, but the Tide leaned more heavily on freshman Ryan Williams and Washington transfer Germie Bernard.
Law totaled 33 catches for 343 yards and one touchdown in three seasons at Alabama and will have one year of eligibility remaining at his next destination. He is the third Alabama receiver to enter the portal joining Odom and junior Kobe Prentice.

Hurley recorded one tackle over nine appearances this season. He served primarily on special teams, working on both kickoff and punt units. Hurley signed with Alabama as the No. 69 overall player and No. 9 cornerback in the 2023 class.
LB Keanu Koht to enter transfer portal (Nov. 19)Â
Suspended linebacker Keanu Koht is transferring from Alabama, A&P Sports Agency informed Rivals.
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer announced earlier in November that Koht had been suspended from the team indefinitely. The redshirt junior was not with the team during its 52-7 win against Mercer over the weekend. Koht will have one year of eligibility at his next school.
Koht appeared in 106 defensive snaps over seven appearances, recording five tackles and 0.5 sacks this season. The Vero Beach, Florida native joined Alabama as the No. 43 overall play and No. 2 weakside defensive end in the 2021 class.
DT Jehiem Oatis to redshirt and transfer (Oct. 7)
Jehiem Oatis will redshirt this season and enter the transfer portal. The sophomore defensive tackle started 13 games in his first two seasons with the Crimson Tide but has been limited in Alabama's first five games of the 2024 season.
A former top-100 player in the Class of 2022, Oatis logged 55 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his first two seasons at Alabama. After making two tackles in 23 snaps against Western Kentucky, he saw his snap count drop in Alabama's following games and did not appear in the Tide's 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt.
“Jaheim, it felt like it was going that way," Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said. "I think you also have to understand there’s other elements to this. There’s health elements, there’s life elements. I love these guys, they work hard and Jaheim’s choices, there’s reasons for that. He has notified and continued to be in communication here with us. Kinda felt like it was maybe going in that direction, not just today or yesterday but just here in the last few days. We move forward with the guys that really are able to help us win and focused on our program."
Monday evening, Oatis confirmed his decision to redshirt and enter the transfer portal through a post on social media.
"This decision did not come easily, but I need to prioritize my future and career," Oatis said in the post. "While the season did not unfold the way we had hoped, my love for this school and its incredible fan base remains as strong as ever. I am deeply grateful for the memories and experiences that have shaped me here, and I will carry them with me the rest of my life.
"As I look forward to the next chapter, I'm excited to find a new home where I can bring NFL-caliber play and help my future team compete for championships."
