After a dominant year, Alabama football’s season came to an end at the College Football Playoff semifinals on New Year’s Day. While the team is still reeling from the elimination, another big blow has come in the form of running back Roydell Williams, who recently decided to enter the transfer portal this offseason, as per 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
Williams had just finished his fourth year with the Crimson Tide, which was arguably the senior’s best season.
Alabama football’s dominant season ends in heartbreak
Alabama’s heartbreak at the Rose Bowl came down to the final possession. As Michigan led by seven with one last series of downs left, Alabama was able to push the ball just three yards short of the goal line. Unfortunately, a fourth down rushing attempt by Jalen Milroe was stopped, giving the game to the Wolverines.
Following the season’s conclusion, Alabama players had five days to decide if they would be entering the transfer portal or not. While Roydell Williams may still opt to return to the team, at the moment, he’s looking for opportunities elsewhere.
