TOPE NEWS : An offensive lineman from Alabama commits to the ACC program….

 

On Tuesday afternoon, offensive lineman Naquil Betrand, the most recent member of the Alabama Crimson Tide transfer portal to make a choice, declared his intention to play for the Syracuse Orange in 2025. Prior to using the transfer portal earlier this month, Betrand, who transferred from the Texas A&M Aggies to Alabama last offseason, did not receive any playing time in Tuscaloosa. In his one season at Alabama, the offensive tackle mostly played as a backup.

Taking a look at Alabama in the transfer portal as well, Betrand is now the sixth Crimson Tide player to announce a playing destination for 2025. Now committed to Syracuse as well, Betrand is the first Alabama transfer from this cycle now set to play for an ACC team in 2025.
