Former 4-star OL for Alabama enters NCAA transfer portal

Alabama football has six players in the NCAA transfer portal, but only one is staying with the team until the end of the College Football Playoff.

Elijah Pritchett, a former four-star offensive lineman from the 2022 class, is the latest name in the portal. A native Georgian, Pritchett was one of the top offensive tackles in the 2022 recruiting cycle.

The 6-foot-6, 312-pounder has played in 15 career games, including 13 this season. He shared responsibilities at left tackle with true freshman, Kadyn Proctor. Pritchett, a redshirt freshman, has a lot of potential at a critical position for the Tide. 

He joins Isaiah Hastings, Anquin Barnes Jr., Ja’Corey Brooks, and Thaiu Jones-Bell as someone immediately looking for a new team. Brooks, a former four-star wide receiver from the 2021 class, has committed to the University of Louisville.
