I think this thread was started in regard to UAB players going into the transfer portal. And evaluating things at this point, I think we will end up on the plus side from the portal. I don't think we can lose anyone else (at least, to the portal), but we can still pick some up.

Here's who we lost (not including a few walk-ons):

(2022 starters):
Jaylen Key - S - Alabama
Dylan Hopkins - QB - New Mexico
Quincy McGee - OL - Ole Miss

(contributors)
Maleak Bryant - TE - Long Island (part-time starter)
Brody Dalton - TE - Troy (part-time starter)
Ryan Davis - WR - New Mexico

(others that we know went elsewhere)
Damon Stewart - QB - Alabama State
A.J. Gates - RB - Samford
Dylan Mehrotra - QB - Southern
Xavier Lanier - DB - Samford
Codey Martin - DB - Lamar

(do we know if these players landed anywhere?)
Jordan Palmer - WR
Charles Daniels - LB
Kybo Jamerson - LB

As for portal pick-ups, there have been many, and I think we will get immediate help at OL, WR, RB and maybe in the secondary. From what I can tell, these are the best of the players we got from the portal:

Will Parker - OL - Tennessee
Desmond Little -LB - LSU
Antavious Woody -DL/OL (?) - Florida State
Brandon Burkhalter - WR - Ole Miss
Malachi Holt-Bennett - WR - Indiana
Dazalin Wortham - WR - Auburn
B.J. Mayes - DB - Incarnate Word
Kendall Johnson - LB - Tenn. State
Demtrius Battle - RB - West Alabama
Brennan Moran - OL - Sioux Falls
James Smyre - LB - Marshall
AD Diamond - DB - Auburn

Am I missing anyone significant, coming or going?
