Ex-Alabama football player goes back into transfer portal
A player familiar to Alabama football is back in the transfer portal again.
Offensive lineman TJ Ferguson, who went by Terrence Ferguson II with the Crimson Tide, put his name in the transfer portal this spring, according to CBS Sports/247Sports.
Ferguson spent the 2024 season playing for Florida State. He started seven games and played in 11. He transferred to join the Seminoles after three seasons with the Crimson Tide.
Ferguson will be a redshirt senior this fall. The 6-4, 322-pound Georgia native played in five games during his final season with the Crimson Tide in 2023, starting against South Florida. That was Ferguson’s lone start during his time with Alabama.
Ferguson also played in five games in 2022 as a backup. In 2021, Ferguson logged action in only one game, which preserved his redshirt.
