Getting Down To An 85-Man Football Roster

The last couple of days has seen some personnel changes on the Alabama football roster and more are expected. The names of two players, linebacker Jarez Parks and punter Charlie Scott, have disappeared from the official roster but only Parks was on scholarship. Running back Keilan Robinson put his name into the transfer portal and could return but it seems doubtful.

In May, the Crimson Tide picked up two valuable transfers in linebacker Henry To’o To’o from Tennessee and former Ohio State wide receiver Jameson Williams. Troy punter Jack Martin has also transferred to the Capstone but it is believed he is a walk-on.

In addition, uncommitted 2021 recruit JT Tuimoloau is still floating around out there. He plans to make five official visits this month with the final one being to Tuscaloosa June 25-27.

As of today, Alabama still appears to be over the 85-player limit. Obviously, two players leaving and two being added cancel each other out numbers-wise. A few more departures are imminent.

We did this back in February, so let’s give it another shot.
