  10/27/26 - Dre Kirkpatrick Jr., Jr/2028, Alabama, 5-11, 207 (DS#999 SS) + More +

  Alabama reserve defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. has been dismissed from the team in the wake of allegations he threatened a police officer who was involved in a previous arrest of Kirkpatrick last year. Kirkpatrick was arrested Friday on misdemeanor charges of doxing and harassing communications with police and initially was suspended for Alabama's victory over Texas A&M on Saturday. On Tuesday, Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said Kirkpatrick "will no longer be a part of our program," adding that the veteran defender "did not live up to the standards and expectations that I have set for this team." Kirkpatrick allegedly sent an officer a message containing profanity and allegedly posted a photo of the officer and his family on social media, according to documents obtained by WBRC and The Tuscaloosa Thread.

Kirkpatrick was suspended for the latter half of the 2025 season after his arrest on three counts of reckless endangerment and one count of attempting to elude and speeding. Kirkpatrick was allowed to rejoin the team last spring, but in June was charged with unlawfully operating a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident. Kirkpatrick is the son of former Alabama and NFL cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick Sr. He had played in each of Alabama's first seven games this season. - AP College Football

  10/12/26 - Ryan Coleman-Williams, Jr/2028, Alabama, 6-0, 184 (DS#6 WR) + More +

  No. 6 Alabama is preparing to play without leading wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams at 14th-ranked Tennessee on Saturday. Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said Monday that Coleman-Williams is doubtful for the Southeastern Conference rivalry known as "The Third Saturday in October." The team captain is dealing with multiple injuries, including a concussion. "Ryan's got a couple things going on," DeBoer said. "Worked through an injury with his knee that's been kind of going on, so we'll deal with that. Got the head issue as well. We're going to address that, even the lower extremity there this week. Pretty good chance we won't have him here this weekend. I think it'll probably go week to week after that." Coleman-Williams left Alabama's 20-17 loss to then-No. 2 Georgia twice Saturday night.

Already wearing a brace on his right knee, he limped off the field just before halftime after landing awkwardly on his opposite leg on a deep pass from quarterback Keelon Russell. Coleman-Williams returned for the second half but left the game for good early in the fourth quarter after Georgia safety KJ Bolden delivered a blow to his head. Officials did not call a targeting penalty despite protests from DeBoer and the home crowd. The junior leads Alabama in all major receiving categories, with 23 receptions for 415 yards and four touchdowns. Alabama is expected to rely more on Lotzeir Brooks and Rico Scott against the Volunteers, with Derek Meadows, Cederian Morgan and Noah Rodgers potentially getting in the mix. - AP College Football

  09/05/26 - Keelon Russell, rFr/2030, Alabama, 6-3, 207 (DS#1 QB) + More +

  Keelon Russell accounted for 335 yards and a touchdown, and No. 13 Alabama opened the season with a 48-10 victory over East Carolina on Saturday. Russell, a sophomore making his first career start after beating out Austin Mack during training camp, ran for 86 yards and a score. He also threw for 249 yards, including 130 of those to Ryan Coleman-Williams. Russell directed five consecutive scoring drives to start the game, and Alabama (1-0) finished with 480 yards and 27 first downs.

The Pirates were 0 for 9 on third down and gained 2 yards on 22 carries. Mitch Griffis completed 10 of 16 passes for 137 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Russell made a few mistakes, including a fumble in the third quarter.

  12/20/25 - Ty Simpson, rJr/2026, Alabama, 6-1, 211 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Ty Simpson passed for 232 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 9 seed Alabama rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat No. 8 Oklahoma 34-24 on Friday night in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Alabama freshman Lotzeir Brooks, who did not score a touchdown in the regular season, scored two and had season highs of five catches and 79 yards. It was the third meeting between the schools in 13 months. Oklahoma defeated Alabama 24-3 last November at home, then beat the Crimson Tide 23-21 last month on the road. It was the first playoff for the Crimson Tide since coach Kalen DeBoer arrived from Washington two years ago. Alabama (11-3) advanced to play No. 1 seed Indiana and Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza in a quarterfinal game at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. Oklahoma's John Mateer passed for 307 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw a costly interception that Alabama's Zabien Brown returned 50 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Deion Burks had seven catches for 107 yards and a score for the Sooners (10-3). Oklahoma's Tate Sandell, the Lou Groza Award winner for the nation's best kicker, tied an FBS single-season record for most made field goals of 50 or more yards. He drilled a 51-yarder into a stiff wind to give the Sooners a 10-0 lead late in the first quarter, his 24th consecutive made field goal. The Sooners outgained the Crimson Tide 118 yards to 12 in the opening period. Mateer's 6-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Sategna early in the second quarter pushed Oklahoma's lead to 17-0.

Alabama, which went three-and-out on its first three possessions, finally got its offense going midway through the second quarter when Simpson hit Brooks for a 10-yard score to trim Oklahoma's lead to 17-7. Later in the quarter, Brown's interception return tied the score at 17. Brooks caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Simpson early in the third quarter to give Alabama its first lead. The Crimson Tide took a 27-17 advantage on a 40-yard field goal by Conor Talty. Burks caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Mateer two plays into the fourth quarter to cut Alabama's lead to 27-24. Oklahoma had chances to stay in the game, but Sandell missed from 36 yards with just under three minutes remaining to end his streak. He missed again from 51 yards out with 1:18 to play. - Alabama/AP College Football

  2025 UNITED ATHLETIC CONFERENCE CO-SPECIALIST OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Adam Watford (North Alabama),...North Alabama punter Adam Watford joins Smith as the league's Specialist of the Year. Watford averaged 46.5 yards per punt over 66 kicks this season, ranking fourth in the FCS. The junior's strong leg was regularly on display producing a school record 21 punts over 50 yards this season, breaking the program's career mark for 50-plus yard punts with 36, and posting at least one 50-yard or longer kick in 10 of 12 games. A consistent weapon for the Lions, Watford was the lone FCS punter to tally three punts over 70 yards showcased by a UAC record 74-yard blast versus UCA along with a pair of 72-yard bombs against Tarleton State and Utah Tech. He also led the league with 18 punts downed inside the 20 yard line. - United Athletic Conference Football

  11/29/25 - Ty Simpson, rJr/2026, Alabama, 6-1, 211 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Ty Simpson and Isaiah Horton connected three times for touchdowns, and No. 10 Alabama escaped Auburn with a 27-20 victory in the rivalry known as the Iron Bowl on Saturday night. The Crimson Tide advanced to face fourth-ranked Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game next week in Atlanta. Alabama (10-2, 7-1) beat Georgia 24-21 on the road in the regular season. The Tide were on the ropes again at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After leading 17-0 early in the second quarter, they found themselves tied in the waning minutes. But Simpson found Horton on a fourth-and-2 play from the Auburn 6 with 3:50 remaining. It was their third hookup of the night, including 6- and 3-yard scores in the first half.

Simpson completed 19 of 35 passes for a season-low 122 yards. Horton finished with five catches for 35 yards, with all three scores coming in the red zone. Alabama won despite totaling 276 yards. Alabama's Jam Miller ran for 83 yards before leaving with an injury. Ashton Daniels led Auburn (5-7, 1-7) with 259 passing and 108 yards rushing. Malcolm Simmons hauled in two long passes, including a 64-yarder for a touchdown and a 66-yarder that set up a score. Daniels had the Tigers on the move late, taking advantage of a pass-interference penalty and scrambling for a first down on fourth-and-2, but star receiver Cam Coleman fumbled with 33 seconds left. - Alabama/AP College Football
