Alabama football’s wide receiver group lost another name for 2025. Jaren Hamilton will enter the transfer portal, he shared on social media Wednesday.
Hamilton was one of five scholarship players available at wideout for the Crimson Tide during Tuesday’s ReliaQuest Bowl loss to Michigan. He preserved his redshirt throughout the 2024 season.
The redshirt freshman joined Alabama as a member of the 2023 recruiting class. He saw action in four games this season, including the bowl.
Hamilton did not register a catch for the Crimson Tide. He similarly did not see the ball in the two games he played in 2023.
Alabama will have more numbers for the 2025 season, but injuries and transfer portal departures left it with just four scholarship receivers for the bowl loss. In addition to Hamilton, Ryan Williams, Germie Bernard and Rico Scott were also available.
Before the bowl, Kobe Prentice, Kendrick Law, Caleb Odom and Emmanuel Henderson opted to transfer away from Alabama. Jaylen Mbakwe, who spent his freshman regular season at cornerback, also moved to wide receiver for the game and beyond.
The transfer portal is open for Alabama players to enter for five days following the end of Tuesday’s game. The Tide lost 19-13 due to early turnovers and offensive struggles throughout, ending Kalen DeBoer’s first season in charge with a 9-3 record.
Hamilton was a four-star prospect out of high school according to the 247Sports composite. The Gainesville native chose the Crimson Tide over Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Tennessee and USC.
Alabama football fans were left stunned as star wide receiver, John Doe, announced his decision to enter the transfer portal following the end of the 2024 season. Doe, who had been a key contributor to the Crimson Tide’s success over the past few years, cited a desire for a fresh start and new opportunities as his reasons for transferring.
Doe’s departure leaves a significant void in Alabama’s receiving corps, as he was known for his speed, route-running ability, and knack for making big plays in crucial moments. Fans and teammates alike took to social media to express their gratitude for Doe’s contributions to the team and wish him well in his future endeavors.
While Doe’s departure is certainly a blow to Alabama’s offense, head coach Nick Saban and his staff are no strangers to recruiting and developing top talent. It will be interesting to see how the Crimson Tide adjust and reload at the wide receiver position in the coming seasons.
As for Doe, his future remains uncertain as he explores his options in the transfer portal. Wherever he ends up, there’s no doubt that he will continue to showcase his skills and make an impact on the field. Alabama fans will always have fond memories of Doe’s time with the Crimson Tide and will be rooting for his success wherever he goes.
