With the advent of the free agent transfer rule, bonus super senior years, and the always prevalent act of Tide players leaving for the NFL Draft after three seasons, Alabama football will have a very different look next season. Nick Saban has not been shy about swiping players from other teams such as Jameson Williams, Henry To’oTo’o, and Jahmyr Gibbs.
Saban has also used the bonus year clause, but sparingly. He has only used two on each of the last two teams in Brian Robinson and Chris Owens in 2021, Kendall Randolph and Jaylen Moody this season. Of those, it could be said that only B-Rob was a home run move.
