Alabama football tight end planning to enter transfer portal
Alabama football tight end Ty Lockwood plans to enter the transfer portal, he told On3.
Lockwood spent two seasons with the Crimson Tide and saw limited playing time. He’s a former four-star recruit in the 2023 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite.
Lockwood caught one pass for five yards during his two seasons with Alabama. Over that span, Lockwood saw 37 snaps on offense, with 28 of them this season, per Pro Football Focus.
Lockwood’s exit is the latest element of shakeup in the tight end room. CJ Dippre and Robbie Ouzts, the primary starters this season, will both exit as they see their eligibility expire. Among returners are Josh Cuevas and Danny Lewis Jr. Cuevas is heading into his second season with the program after following Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer from Washington. Meanwhile, Lewis entered the transfer portal in the initial portal window but then removed his name to stay with the Crimson Tide.
An additional portal window of five days opened after Alabama played in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Tuesday.
