Two freshmen LBs could see snaps at WOLF moving forward

Alabama football is losing its second defensive player to the NCAA transfer portal.

After watching Jehiem Oatis hit the portal, outside linebacker Keanu Koht decided to file paperwork to enter the portal. The former four-star from the 2021 recruiting class from Florida announced on Instagram his decision to hit the portal.

Qua Russaw and Yhonzae Pierre, both redshirt freshmen, have emerged as the duo at the Wolf position. Que Robinson, a fifth-year senior, is out for the rest of the season with an upper body injury.

Koht’s decision to transfer opens the door for two true freshmen to have an opportunity at marquee reps this season and for next year.
