Alabama football 2026 offseason roster, depth chart tracker
Alabama's 2026 roster is set to undergo significant change this offseason. Here is a tracker of the Crimson Tide's roster throughout the offseason.
Alabama has made a switch at quarterback to backup Austin Mack. What to know of the Crimson Tide signal-caller:
If Simpson stays, things get complicated. Alabama could lose Mack, Russell, or both. And don’t forget: the Tide signed two freshmen quarterbacks in the 2026 class — Jett Thomalla and Tayden Kaawa.
The 2026 college football transfer portal officially opened Friday, and chaos is an understatement. More than 3,700 Division I scholarship players entered the portal on Day 1, kicking off a flurry of movement that has already reshaped rosters and set off a domino effect across the sport.

Former Alabama football star quarterback benched by NFL team
The Miami Dolphins are benching sixth-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday, one day after coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that "everything's on the table" after his team's 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.
With Ty Sampson struggling with a back injury, Austin Mack stepped in at quarterback for the Crimson Tide and Alabama's offense remained stagnant. He completed 11-of-16 passes for 103 yards and was constantly under pressure from Indiana's defense, sending pressure with the game script heavily tilted in the Hoosiers favor.
