Former five-star signee and Alabama freshman All-American offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor is reportedly set to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
It’s the latest potential transfer from Alabama following legendary head coach Nick Saban’s retirement. With Proctor’s inclusion, eight Tide players have entered the transfer portal per 247Sports since Saban announced his retirement on Jan. 10.
It could be huge news for the Iowa Hawkeyes, too. Originally an Iowa commit in the 2023 signing class, Proctor decommitted from the Hawkeyes just before the early signing period and inked with the Crimson Tide. The 6-foot-7, 360 pound offensive tackle was a consensus five-star signee out of Southeast Polk High School in Iowa.
As Proctor readies to enter the transfer portal, four predictions from 247Sports reporters are already in favoring Proctor to transfer to the Hawkeyes.
HawkeyeInsider‘s David Eickholt was the first to submit a 247Sports crystal ball prediction for Proctor to Iowa. Eickholt’s crystal ball prediction was followed by crystal balls from 247Sports national writer Chris Hummer, HawgSports‘ Easton May and 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong.
Proctor started all 14 games for the Crimson Tide at left tackle and was named to the SEC’s All-Freshman Team.
247Sports ranks Proctor as a five-star transfer, as the No. 2 transfer nationally and as the No. 1 offensive tackle transfer.
For an Iowa offense that has been the butt of jokes nationally and ranked as the country’s worst total offense this past season, Proctor’s addition would immediately upgrade the Hawkeyes’ offensive line situation. If he does in fact transfer to Iowa, it figures to instantly improve the Hawkeyes’ offense overall, too.
Iowa’s rushing offense ranked 107th nationally in 2023, averaging just 115.9 rushing yards per game….
