Alabama’s Judge Haynes enters the transfer portal

Alabama running back Justice Haynes has entered the NCAA transfer portal, ESPN has learned.

Haynes started six games for the Crimson Tide this season and finished the season as the third-leading rusher with 448 rushing yards at 5.7 yards per carry and seven touchdowns. He still has two seasons left at his next school.

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound sophomore from Buford, Georgia, was the second-ranked running back in the Class of 2023 and the No. 24 overall player in the ESPN 300. He received 25 carries in a reserve role as a freshman and rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns.

Haynes scored an 85-yard touchdown run in Alabama’s season-opening win over Western Kentucky, but had double-digit carries in just one of his 12 games under new coach Kalen DeBoer and his staff.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe led the Crimson Tide with 719 rushing yards, and Jam Miller was their top back with 760 total yards and eight touchdowns.

After narrowly missing out on a berth in the College Football Playoff as the No. 11 team in the final CFP rankings, Alabama will face Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl on December 31st. Since the winter transfer, the Tide have now lost eleven scholarship players to the portal window that opened on Monday.
