Alabama Football bolstered its 2025 offense through the transfer portal on Saturday. The Crimson Tide secured the signing of former Miami wide receiver Isaiah Horton.

Horton announced the commitment on social media in collaboration with On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Horton spent three seasons with the Hurricanes. He finished the 2024 season with 56 catches for 616 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

This was followed by a 2023 season in which he made 13 catches for 168 yards and a score. In his true freshman year, he redshirted and made one catch for six yards.

Horton played his high school football at Oakland in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and was a four-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports summary. He maintained that four-star rating as a transfer prospect.

Alabama recruited Horton at the time, but he chose the Hurricanes instead. Now he can help a receiver room that will be at its thinnest in Alabama’s next game.

The Crimson Tide will play the ReliaQuest Bowl with just four scholarship players. UA lost Cole Adams to injury early in the year, and then a series of portal departures after the end of the regular season added to the quality of the position.

“We just have to continue to bring in more guys that understand the offense enough to be able to step on the football and help us,” Alabama head coach Kalen Deboer said Wednesday.

The ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan is scheduled for Dec. 31 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. It is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. CT that day.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
