Alabama’s kickers have struggled for a few years now, so you know Crimson Tide fans are watching the transfer portal and wondering.
An interesting name became available on Monday, as former Arizona State K Brandon Ruiz has decided to explore transfer options.
Per AL.com’s Matt Zenitz, the junior kicker has now made it so schools can contact him about a transfer:
Former Alabama kicker commit Brandon Ruiz has put his name into the NCAA transfer portal, per source.

Ruiz went 18-for-22 on field goals in 2018 and was also perfect on extra points, drilling all 45 he attempted.
Will Alabama be interested in Ruiz, who was at one time an Alabama commit? That will definitely be a story to keep an eye on moving forward.
We’ve got Reichard for that, whenever he’s healthy again. We need a punter. It hasn’t mattered up to this point but it will at some point in the future.
