Alabama DL Braylen Ingraham enters transfer portal

Alabama defensive lineman Braylen Ingraham has entered the transfer portal as a graduate student, Rivals has learned. The move comes one day after the NCAA made an exception to its new transfer windows for students who have graduated.

Ingraham, playing in his fourth season at Alabama, had not seen the field through the Crimson Tide's first three games. He should have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Ingraham came to Alabama as a four-star prospect in the class of 2019. He had offers from a long list of Power Five schools, including Auburn, Clemson, Georgia and Ohio State. He appeared in two games as a freshman in 2019 and two more games in 2020. He totaled five tackles.

The NCAA announced on Aug. 31 that all fall sport athletes wishing to transfer could only enter the transfer portal during a 45-day window following the competition season or a 15-day window in May. However, the NCAA has since made exceptions for graduate students and student-athletes whose head coach got fired.
