Alabama Linebacker Keanu Koht to Enter NCAA Transfer Portal

Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker Keanu Koht has announced his intention to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, marking a significant development in his collegiate football career. Koht, a native of Vero Beach, Florida, joined the University of Alabama in the 2021 recruiting class, where he was ranked as the No. 43 overall player and the No. 2 weakside defensive end.

Koht was highly regarded coming out of high school, ranked as the fifth-best EDGE and the 61st-best overall player in the 2021 recruiting class. Despite his promising start, he has seen limited playing time, participating in just seven games this season.

The decision to enter the transfer portal comes after Koht spent four seasons with the Crimson Tide. This move is particularly notable given that Koht is the second Alabama player to enter the transfer portal recently.

It is also worth noting that Koht has been suspended, although the specific reasons for the suspension have not been detailed in recent reports. This suspension may have influenced his decision to seek opportunities elsewhere.
