Linebacker Demouy Kennedy Enters Transfer Portal
At the end of the transfer portal window, one more player has decided to leave Tuscaloosa as linebacker Demouy Kennedy will enter the transfer portal.
Matt Zenits of On3 Sports was the first to break the news.
Kennedy, a 6-foot-3, 220-pount junior, was a member of the 2020 recruiting class. He was a native of Theodore, Alabama, which is where he played his high school ball. Kennedy was the no. 3 linebacker in the class, and the top prospect in the state in Alabama along with being a consensus 4-star recruit.
In his three years at Alabama, Kennedy did the bulk of his work on special teams with a handful of reps at running back. During the 2022 season, he suffered a season-ending knee injury against Arkansas.
Barring any other transfers, Kennedy is the first and only linebacker to enter the transfer portal from Alabama. The Crimson Tide suffered the most losses from the offensive line and the wide receivers, namely starters Javion Cohen and Traeshon Holden. However, ever with the departure of Will Anderson Jr. and Henry To'oTo'o, Alabama has plenty of talent at the linebacker position.
Chris Braswell and Dallas Turner headline the returners from the Crimson Tide defense, and there are a number of young players looking forward to the opportunity. On the recruiting front, Alabama will also have Justin Jefferson, the top junior college linebacker in the nation, joining the team.
