Alabama OL Terrence Ferguson plans to enter NCAA transfer portal
Alabama offensive lineman Terrence Ferguson plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
The 6-foot-4, 322-pound lineman is in his third season at Alabama and was considered a starter by head coach Nick Saban before the start of the 2023 campaign. Ferguson made his first start at South Florida but missed five games because of a high-ankle sprain. The redshirt sophomore played in five total games this season, giving him 11 career appearances.
“Terrence Ferguson is playing really, really well,” Saban said in early August. “He’s gotten bigger and stronger. He’s always been very explosive and had explosive power and body quickness. And he’s very confident in what he’s doing. We’re playing him at center some, too, which he’s done a good job of that.
“He’s showing a lot of maturity, and I look at him as a starter on our team. I think we have six or seven guys who may be starters, so we’re seeing what the best combination is as we go through camp.”
Ferguson was a top-100 recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. The Fort Valley, Ga., native was rated as the nation’s third-best interior offensive lineman, the No. 9 player from the state of Georgia and 64th overall prospect in his recruiting class.
The transfer portal’s 30-day window opened on Monday, Dec. 4, but players on teams that played in bowl games on New Year’s Day received an extended window from Jan. 2-6.
