Since the conclusion of the Citrus Bowl, the University of Alabama football program has lost eight student-athletes to the NCAA transfer portal. The latest two entries were Tyrell Shavers (wide receiver) and Markail Benton (linebacker) as both will take their talents elsewhere.
Shavers, a native of Lewisville, Texas, caught one pass last season and recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown.
The 6-foot-6 target was a four-star in the 2017 recruiting class and Crimson Tide fans carried high hopes of him being successful. As for Benton, he was also a four-star in 2017 from Central High School in Phenix City, Ala.
