Report: Alabama OL Seth McLaughlin to enter transfer portal after difficult CFP semifinal game
Alabama starting center Seth McLaughlin is expected to enter the transfer portal, according to a report from the Tuscaloosa News.
McLaughlin was an every-down starter for the Crimson Tide in 2023, though he became the focus of some negative attention in the College Football Playoff when he struggled snapping the football.
Still, he’s a player that will offer whatever school chooses him out of the transfer portal an experienced starter.
He started 25 games over the course of the last three seasons for the Crimson Tide, emerging as a steady presence on the interior of the offensive line.
Prior to enrolling at Alabama, McLaughlin was a three-star prospect and the No. 441 overall recruit in the nation in the 2020 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
