It's been a miserable week for Alabama Crimson Tide football fans.
The program has seen a litany of players leave the program this week in the wake of Nick Saban's retirement.
While the Crimson Tide made a seemingly solid hire in Kalen DeBoer, who just led Washington to an appearance in the national championship game, the program is at a crossroads thanks to the mass exodus of talent.
Superstar safety Caleb Downs and future NFL offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor are among the more than 25 Alabama players that have entered the portal this offseason.
On Friday morning, Alabama learned they're losing another key player to the portal.
2024 five-star quarterback Julian Sayin, who signed with Alabama in December, is expected to enter the portal according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Sayin was rated as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2024 class (he was also rated as the No. 5 overall player in the 2024 class).
Sayin, 6-foot-1/195 lbs, is from Carlsbad, CA. It's too early to know what teams will be in the mix to land Sayin, but he'll obviously be a highly sought after player (which will likely mean an NIL bidding war).
For the first time in over 15 years, depth might be an issue for Alabama in 2024. They'll almost certainly replace the players that left via the portal (remember, a second portal window opens in April). But those players might not be the level of talent that Alabama fans are accustomed to seeing in Tuscaloosa.
Welcome to the real world, Bama fans. This is how the rest of college football lives.
