Description
Alabama Football Faces Linebacker Departure: Qua Russaw Enters Transfer PortalFour-star recruit Qua Russaw, who played linebacker for Alabama, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Russaw, who started the 2025 season as the top Wolf outside linebacker, suffered a foot injury early in the season, limiting his play to just 215 snaps. In his absence, Yhonzae Pierre stepped up, leading the team with 8 sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss. However, with Russaw and another linebacker, Noah Carter, leaving the team, Alabama will need to rebuild that key spot on defense, with Justin Hill expected to slide back into the mix for the 2026 season.
