Alabama Sophomore Defensive Back Entering Transfer Portal
Alabama safety King Mack is entering the transfer portal, per 247 Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
The sophomore, who transferred to the Crimson in the offseason after one year at Penn State, totaled 14 tackles in 13 games at Alabama this season.
Mack becomes the 19th player to enter the transfer portal, following quarterback Dylan Lonergan, running back Justice Haynes, defensive linemen Jeheim Oatis, Hunter Osborne and Damon Payne Jr., edge rushers Keanu Koht and Jayshawn Ross, linebacker Jeremiah Alexander, cornerbacks Jahlil Hurley and DeVonta Smith, wide receivers Kobe Prentice, Caleb Odom, Kendrick Law, Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Jaren Hamilton and Amari Jefferson and offensive linemen Miles McVay and Naquil Betrand.
Mack is the first Alabama safety to enter the portal and the third defensive back, joining cornerbacks Jahlil Hurley and DeVonta Smith. He is also the third Alabama player to enter the transfer portal on Friday, joining Jayshawn Ross and Jeremiah Alexander.
The former four-star recruit and current 5-foot-10, 206-pounder out of St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was ranked as the No. 93 prospect in the class of 2023, the No. 8 safety and the No. 23 player in the state of Florida at the time of his commitment to Penn State on June 30, 2022.
It’s worth mentioning that Alabama made a couple of coaching staff moves on Friday, including the firing of safeties coach Colin Hitschler––this season’s mentor to Mack. However, it is uncertain at this time why Hitschler was relieved.

CLANTON – Sunday, 8:30 am, June 21, 2026
Today, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are forecast mainly across the southern half of the state. Rainfall will generally be around 1 inch, but some spots could receive 2-4 inches, resulting in localized flooding. Damaging wind gusts are not expected.
Little to no rainfall will occur tonight through Monday morning. During the afternoon (and for the remainder of the week), we will be in a northwest flow aloft, with periodic clusters of storms (Mesoscale Convective Systems) moving from northwest to southeast across the state each day.
The timing for Monday’s activity is shown below. A few damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph, and heavy rainfall that may produce localized flooding are the threats.
There will be breaks in the precipitation each day, allowing any flooding to subside. However, due to saturated soils this week, it won’t take as much rainfall to produce additional flooding. Finally, the timing for each cluster of storms after Monday is highly uncertain, both in timing and specific locations.

The SEC opponents for Alabama women’s basketball during the 2026-27 campaign has been officially revealed.
The Tide will face some of the top teams in all of women’s college basketball throughout SEC play this upcoming season. Alabama will face Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss and Texas A&M at home, with Ole Miss being the Tide’s only SEC opponent that they will face twice this year, both home and away. Alabama will be on the road for matchups against Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas as well.
The dates, start times, and television network for each will be revealed at a later date.
Alabama held a 7-9 record throughout SEC play last season. The Tide were widely regarded as one of the top teams in the nation despite struggling at times during conference play, and Alabama was able to make a run during the SEC Tournament with a shocking upset to the Tennessee Lady Vols in Nashville.
Alabama went 24-11 last season as a whole, but the Tide will undoubtedly need to play better during SEC play this year nonetheless.
