The college softball season has not officially ended with the Women's College World Series still to come this week, but that doesn't mean action in the transfer portal hasn't already started.

Alabama's bid for a third straight appearance at the Women's College World Series was ended by No. 2 Oklahoma in super regionals. Last season, the Crimson Tide saw portal action before the WCWS began, and this year is no different.

BamaCentral will keep up with the comings and goings on the Alabama roster as the program closes the chapter on Team 29 and looks ahead to Team 30 under the direction of head coach Patrick Murphy.

This story will be constantly updated with any roster or coaching staff movement.

Out of eligibility

• Kendal Clark, utility- Clark served as one of Alabama's two captains in 2025, and her leadership will be missed. She played in 28 games, batting .237 with 12 RBIs

• Brooke Ellestad, infielder- After transferring in from Louisiana, Ellestad found her spot as Alabama's starting third baseman for most of the season. She played in 60 games with 58 starts and finished second on the team with 46 RBIs and eight home runs while batting .295. Alabama will have to find a new third baseman.

• Kali Heivilin, infielder- Heivilin saved her best for last.
