That's 4 O linemen leaving. Any word yet on Levi Rogers? It really helps to have a returning center.
On the plus side, it looks like Emmet Kenney is coming back.

Add Lukas Ungar, Omari Porter, and Kale Lucas and the list is accurate. Rogers is most likely out of eligibility.
Wishing them the best, but, if this is it, ...not bad. Was hoping that Fausto Ramos would hang in there. I thought he should have been higher on the depth chart.

New portal entrants per 247:
Jaden Slocum
Chase Farrell
Brandon Jones
I thought that Slocum had retired from football. I don't know that Jones was even on the roster this year.

Dylan Lonergan, the Alabama QB, is now in the transfer pool.
We recruited him out of high school and were in his top 3, but he chose the Tide over us and South Carolina.
I wonder if we would be interested.
Update: He is visiting Georgia (his home state). No mention of Stanford or any other school.
I have a feeling if Georgia wants him he is a 'Dawg.

Lonergan LOOKS like Andrew Luck, and wears #12 (at Brookwood), 6'2" 220 pounds, slings it well.
Baseball prospect also, fits well at Stanford. Legit 4-star talent with upside. Can scramble like Luck.
Junior Season --

Here is an example where Luck could make a difference in recruiting --
if we get the O-Line ramped up.
And our Receiving Corp would be attractive to Lonergan.
Lonergan not going anywhere on QB depth chart at BAMA
https://247sports.com/player/dylan-lonergan-46093959/
And QBs want RBs. So, at RB looks like we are left with Chris Davis, Micah Ford, and Cole Tabb. NO RBs in 2025 class.
RBs in transfer portal? Perhaps some interest from Eli Sanders (at UNM) -- a quick slasher, not a power back; reads daylight well.

In re Sanders, my fear is that he - or any smart running back for that matter - will look at the OL depth and overall running game issues the last 2 years and give us a big nopeity-nope-nope. I'll be happy to eat my own words.

One sports blog lists Stanford as a top spot for Lonergan, "since it was high on his list originally" before choosing Bama.

Perhaps Andrew Luck shows his impact here?
Lonergan would have a nice Receiving Corp. -- need an O-Line.

What are the chances that an Alabama football player took a courseload worthy of Stanford transfer admissions over the last three semesters? If Lonergan did, kudos to him. I sure wouldn't have!

This is completely idle speculation on my part, but I wonder if he was told that Stanford is going to go after an incoming QB transfer. The biggest name that at least theoretically could be brought in is Miller Moss from SC. Moss, in his transfer announcement, thanked his senior thesis advisor, fwiw.
Most likely, I'm way off about Moss. But we'll see if Stanford brings in someone. I mean, Andrew Luck probably would be able to help with recruiting a QB, I would think.
Moss looks to be going to Louisville.

Quote:As a true freshman in 2023, Ruffins played in four games for the Wolfpack, preserving his ability to redshirt. He made two starts at the very end of the season and then carried that experience with him into the 2024 season in which he started in nine games while missing two games due to injury. Ruffins was also named Mountain West Freshman of the Week back in August for his performance against SMU.
Listed at 6’2”, 291 pounds, Ruffins was rated a 3-star recruit with a 5.6 rating by Rivals in the 2023 class out of Poly High School in Long Beach, California. Ruffins was a high academic kid in high school, getting offers from Air Force, Army, Columbia, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Pennsylvania, and Yale.

Not surprised that a blueblood program is taking a chance on Baklenko, who has pretty much ideal size and a bit more athleticism than average.
If you can stomach it, a former OU lineman had done a film analysis of his play at Stanford (as an aside, this vid has more than 11k views, which just shows the level of rabid fandom for Oklahoma football):

Interesting point in the video that Baklenko came out every time Lamson came in for the short yardage plays. Oh well, not our concern any more.
