Amari Niblack intends to enter the transfer portal as of Sunday, he posted to Instagram with On3.
Niblack just wrapped up his sophomore season for Alabama football. He caught 20 passes for 327 yards and 4 touchdowns this past season.
Niblack is the latest player to look at other opportunities in wake of Nick Saban’s retirement. Starting receiver Isaiah Bond entered the transfer portal earlier this week then announced he’s transferring to Texas on Sunday.
If Niblack in fact departs, that leaves CJ Dippre, Robbie Ouzts and Danny Lewis as the main returners. Miles Kitselman, who was lower on the depth chart, transferred to Tennessee.
Alabama football hired Kalen DeBoer as its next coach on Friday, and he is in the process of putting together his staff and building his roster. After Saban retired, the 30-day clock started for Alabama players to enter the transfer portal, even though the window had just closed.
