In a significant boost to their transfer portal class, the Alabama Crimson Tide have secured the commitment of former Utah cornerback Cam Calhoun. This development comes on the heels of Monday’s announcement that former Florida defensive lineman Kelby Collins would be joining the Crimson Tide.
Calhoun, a four-star transfer according to 247Sports, is ranked as the No. 61 overall player in the transfer portal and the No. 4 cornerback. He boasts an impressive resume, having played for both Utah and Michigan. With three years of eligibility remaining, Calhoun is poised to make a significant impact on the Crimson Tide’s defense.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Calhoun was a three-star recruit coming out of high school. During his time at Michigan and Utah, he compiled 21 tackles, nine pass deflections, and an interception. His experience and skills will undoubtedly be valuable assets to the Crimson Tide.
The commitments of Calhoun and Collins mark a significant turning point for Alabama, which had seen 14 players exit the program via the transfer portal. These additions have propelled the Crimson Tide’s transfer portal class to No. 34 in the country, a notable improvement.
It’s worth noting that Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class was ranked No. 2 overall in the country, featuring four five-star and 15 four-star recruits. The combination of these talented newcomers and the experienced transfers like Calhoun and Collins will likely make the Crimson Tide a formidable force in the upcoming season.
As the transfer portal continues to shape the college football landscape, Alabama’s ability to attract top talent will be crucial in their pursuit of success. With Calhoun and Collins on board, the Crimson Tide are well-positioned to make a strong push in the years to come.
