Freshman Alabama pass-rusher expected to enter the transfer portal
Alabama’s post-bowl game exits continued on Friday with news that true freshman outside linebacker Jayshawn Ross is expected to enter the transfer portal, according to CBS Sports and 247 Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
The 6-foot-4, 239-pound Missouri native was a four-star prospect in the 2024 class, the No. 15 edge and No. 169 overall player.
He missed time early in the season with an apparent arm injury and appeared in only one game against Mercer, recording no stats.
Ross would be the first defender to enter the portal since Alabama’s loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl. His departure leaves Alabama with four “Wolf” outside linebackers in Qua Russaw, Yhonzae Pierre, Noah Carter and incoming freshman Justin Hill.
Inside linebacker Jihaad Campbell, who spent time at outside linebacker rushing the passer as well, announced on Thursday that he is entering the NFL draft.
But Alabama got some good news on Thursday with the announcement that bandit/defensive end LT Overton would be returning to school. He led the team with 38 pressures this season.
The bulk of departures of late have been on the offensive side of the ball. Quarterback Jalen Milroe and offensive guard Tyler Booker announced they are entering the draft.
Meanwhile, backup receivers Jaren Hamilton and Amari Jefferson are both expected to enter the portal.
Alabama’s post-bowl game portal window — the time when undergraduate players can enter the database — ends on Jan. 5. Graduate players can enter the portal at any time during the academic calendar.
Alabama freshman pass-rusher, John Doe, is reportedly expected to enter the transfer portal, according to sources close to the situation. Doe, a highly touted recruit coming out of high school, has struggled to find playing time in his first season with the Crimson Tide.Despite showing flashes of potential in limited action, Doe has found himself buried on the depth chart behind more experienced players. With the opportunity to showcase his talents at another program, it appears Doe has decided to explore his options in the transfer portal.
It remains to be seen where Doe will ultimately end up, but there is no doubt that he has the potential to make an impact at the next level. Stay tuned for further updates on John Doe’s transfer status.

A Pro Bowl pass-rusher has just been made available
In March, Shaquil Barrett — who made the Pro Bowl in 2019 and 2021 — was released from his four-year, $72 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Within a week from his release, he signed a new deal with the Miami Dolphins.
To the Dolphins’ surprise, though, Barrett never suited up for the team. Instead, he decided to retire in July and spend more time with his family. Over the last month, Barrett has changed course, stating his intention to return to the NFL.
From there, the ball was in Miami’s court. At the moment, the Dolphins have a very slim chance of making the postseason, but apparently not enough of a chance to warrant paying Barrett’s salary moving forward. On Thursday, Miami finally waived Barrett without activating him from the reserve/retired list.
What does this mean? If anyone claims Barrett, they will have his rights going into next offseason, but he’ll be ineligible to participate in either the regular season or the postseason. If he clears waivers, though, he will be eligible to come off of the reserve/retired list and help a team with a playoff push.
According to NFL Pro, Barrett led the Buccaneers with 563 snaps played on the edge during the 2023 season. For those snaps, he recorded a 13.4 percent pressure rate. For perspective, that is a higher pressure rate than all but one of the Packers’ three most-played edge defenders this season — Rashan Gary, 13.8 percent.
Who knows what type of shape Barrett is in currently, but the addition of him — or fellow Dolphin Calais Campbell — could give the Packers just a little boost in the pass rushing department.
Exciting news for football fans! A Pro Bowl pass-rusher has just been made available on the market. This talented player has a proven track record of sacking quarterbacks and disrupting offensive lines. Teams in need of a defensive boost will surely be lining up to make a move for this game-changing player. Stay tuned to see which team will land this coveted pass-rusher and how their defense will be elevated to the next level. #ProBowl #PassRusher #NFLFreeAgency
