Former four-star recruit and rotation offensive tackle Elijah Pritchett has announced he is entering the transfer portal.
Alabama loses OT Elijah Pritchett to the transfer portal According to On3, the 6-foot-6, 325-pound tackle was the fourth-ranked offensive tackle in the 2023 cycle. Unlike many rookies on these talented teams, Pritchett appeared in all 13 games this season.
Even though he alternated with others, he still played an important role in the offense. He is the sixth player from Nick Saban’s team to come through the portal in these first few weeks.
Given his size and the position he plays, Pritchett should generate a lot of interest in the portal.2. December 2023; Atlanta, Georgia, United States;

This has led some to worry about what is happening in these programs. I don’t share the same concerns.
This is the new landscape of college football. Players will leave for different opportunities regardless of what program they are a part of.
Some are leaving for more playing time, while others are looking for a bigger share of the NIL money. We all have to get used to it. 2. December 2023; Atlanta, Georgia, United States;
