FOOTBALL
ALABAMA: Seth McLaughlin, a center who struggled with errant snaps against Michigan in the College Football Playoffs, has entered the transfer portal.
McLaughlin started all 14 games in his fourth season with the Crimson Tide, who lost 27-20 in overtime in the Rose Bowl. But his snap was low on the final fourth-down play, when quarterback Jalen Milroe was stopped trying to run up the middle.
McLaughlin also had two poor snaps on a drive early in the second half, a problem that had crept up multiple times during the season.
He’s the most high profile of more than 10 Alabama players to enter the transfer portal so far, including wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks and quarterback Tyler Buchner, who is transferring to Notre Dame to play lacrosse.
