Updated scholarship numbers for Alabama after addition of Kitselman
The Alabama football team needs to get down to 85 scholarship players prior to its season opener against Utah State on Sept. 3. Heading into Thursday afternoon, the Crimson Tide were sitting at 86 players after the news of offensive lineman Dayne Shor, an early enrollee, entering the transfer portal.
Not even 12 hours later, it was announced that Alabama was adding another scholarship tight end in JUCO prospect Miles Kitselman. Of course, that once again moved the needle back to 87 players. That includes 43 players on offense, 43 on defense and one specialist.
Below, we’re tracking every Alabama player on scholarship, as well as sharing the departures and each player’s reason for leaving. Some of those losses will be because of graduation, some will be early entrants into the NFL draft and others, including Williams and Wynn, as transfers. It’s an interesting breakdown, to say the least.
Note: Some of these additions for Alabama haven’t arrived on campus yet.
