Alabama has landed Oregon transfer defensive lineman Terrance Green from the transfer portal, per On3's Hayes Fawcett. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Green totaled 23 tackles, including three for loss, one sack, and three pass breakups in his time with the Ducks. He committed to the Ducks on Aug. 1, 2022 and saw time in 25 total games, including all 15 from this season.

The former four-star recruit from Cy Woods in Cypress, Texas, was ranked as the No. 211 prospect in the nation, the No. 30 defensive lineman and the No. 37 player in the state, per 247 Sports.

The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder was a part of an Oregon team that reached the College Football Playoff semifinal round, before the No. 5 Ducks were knocked out 56-22 by No. 1 Indiana in the Peach Bowl. The Hoosiers also demolished the No. 9 Crimson Tide 38-3 in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

Green is the second player to transfer to Alabama on Saturday, joining former Ole Miss offensive lineman Ethan Fields.

Green is one of 17 incoming transfers for the Crimson Tide, joining former Oklahoma State tight end Josh Ford, former USC defensive lineman Devan Thompkins, former North Alabama punter Adam Watford, former Syracuse long snapper Ethan Stangle, former Mercer defensive back Carmelo O'Neal, former Michigan offensive linemen Kaden Strayhorn and Ty Haywood, former Virginia Tech linebacker Caleb Woodson, former Mississippi State defensive lineman Kedrick Bingley-Jones and former Marshall kicker Lorcan Quinn, former NC State wide receiver Noah Rogers, former Cal Poly offensive lineman Racin Delgatty, former Washington defensive lineman Caleb Smith, former Texas offensive lineman Nick Brooks and the aforementioned Ethan Fields. Alabama also landed a preferred walk-on in Jacksonville State tight end Jaxon Shuttlesworth.

As of Jan. 17 at 2 p.m. CT, pending any other transfers, the Crimson Tide will have the following defensive linemen for 2026: Jeremiah Beaman, Isaia Faga, Fatutoa Henry, Edric Hill, Steve Bolo Mboumoua, and London Simmons, plus the transfers — Green, Thompkins, Kedrick Bingley-Jones, Smith and incoming freshmen Jamarion Matthews, Nolan Wilson, Kamhariyan Johnson, Malique' Franklin and Corey Howard. Not a ton of experience across the board, as Hill leads the returning players with three starts from this season.

The transfer portal officially opened on Friday, Jan. 2 and closed on Jan. 16. The spring portal was eliminated in September and will no longer be an option for athletes.
