Former Alabama OL transfers to ACC school

Former Alabama offensive lineman Naquil Betrand will be transferring to Syracuse. On3’s Hayes Fawcett was first to report the news.

Betrand transferred to Alabama by way of Texas A&M. The Pennsylvania native spent one season with the Aggies. He did not see the field as a true freshman. Prior to the start of his redshirt freshman season, Betrand transferred to Alabama.

The former four-star offensive tackle played in one game for the Crimson Tide. That came in the season opener against Western Kentucky. In the middle of the season, Betrand was removed from the Alabama roster.

He will have three years of eligibility remaining. He becomes the sixth former Alabama player to announce his decision to transfer to a new school. The five others were defensive lineman Jehiem Oatis (Colorado), outside linebacker Keanu Koht (Vanderbilt), cornerback Jahlil Hurley (Kansas), defensive back DeVonta Smith (Notre Dame), and Kobe Prentice (Baylor).
