Alabama football likely losing veteran WR to transfer portal: Report

After Alabama football was snubbed from the College Football Playoff, the transfer portal news was bound to come fast and furious. As such, Kendrick Law reportedly plans to enter the portal, according to Pete Nakos of On3.

Law is one of three wide receivers planning on leaving Alabama thus far. Kobe Prentice and Caleb Odom are also both reportedly on their way out of Tuscaloosa via the transfer portal.

Law spent three seasons with the Crimson Tide, joining as a recruit in the class of 2021. He started four games this season, alongside Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard, and played in 10 of UA’s 12 games.

The junior suffered through some injury troubles in 2024. He finished the regular season with 10 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown.

The Crimson Tide and Wolverines will kick off at 11 a.m. CT on Dec. 31 in Tampa. The game will be aired on ESPN.

ESPN FPI Reveals Alabama’s Chances of Making College Football Playoff

The conference title games gave fans plenty of exciting finishes. Georgia outlasted Texas in overtime. Oregon topped Penn State in a close Big Ten title game, and Clemson stunned SMU on a last-second field goal. As a result, the last College Football Playoff spot will likely come down to Alabama or SMU.

The Mustangs losing in the ACC title game gave Alabama an even better chance than before.

However, the Crimson Tide have three losses, and the three-loss SEC debate has been a popular one all week long. Early on Sunday morning, ESPN updated its Football Power Index (FPI) rankings, and it had Alabama at a 72.2% chance of making the College Football Playoff.

On November 24, Alabama had a 37.4% chance of making the CFP, so things have changed drastically in just a couple of weeks. Alabama was 8-2, but an ugly 24-3 loss to Oklahoma in Week 13 sent them down quite a bit and gave them a tough climb.

But, even though SMU played in its conference title game while Alabama sat at home, the Crimson Tide’s chances have now grown. The latest ESPN FPI has SMU at just a 28% chance to make the Playoff, so in theory, Alabama will be the final team to make the field. The official bracket will be revealed on Sunday afternoon.
