Alabama is in an unfamiliar territory as it faces departures and decommitments not seen during the Nick Saban era.

Since Saban announced his retirement last week, Alabama has seen a slew of players and recruits to depart, most notably Isaiah Bond and Caleb Downs.

One position was hit especially hard. Alabama lost 7 defensive backs to the transfer portal, and 3 others to the NFL Draft.

The Tide also saw players and one prominent coach leave for other SEC teams. Jake Pope committed to Georgia, Dezz Ricks to Texas A&M, Kristian Story to Kentucky and assistant coach Travaris Robinson to Georgia. Earl Little Jr. also left for Florida State.
