Jaylen Mbakwe STAYING with Alabama Football

[@jamesd.3602]

Glad he manned up and stayed when he is given plenty of opportunity to play and contribute. But this shit is getting ridiculous! More importantly- the NCAA needs to fix the NIL, tampering with student athletes and the portal bs

[@tavarisdavis4384]

He’s a special talent. Glad he stayed 🥲😂

[@ericd693]

This is mostly on our coaches , play these guys! They want to contribute in some way !

[@KingDayo144K]

I don't believe BAK likes the CB position defense at all, but he's more a star / safety type on defense no CB / offensive side of the ball where he belongs he just needs the ball in his hands. BAK & Hollywood on offense together. Amazing.

[@Diggz_NotNice]

He was a QB, not WR.

[@KingDayo144K]

@Diggz_NotNice He played both throughout high school career go watch his 7on7 highlights 🎬 WR action 🎬

[@ShortGame75]

I agree better on Offense.. He did improve on corner tho . high ceiling for sure.

[@Anony584]

There is a reason why Mbakwe is not starting at corner and why Saban didn’t recruit him as a QB or WR.

[@BamaFootball]

How happy are you that he is staying?

[@greghamaker1677]

Tired of the flip flopping, yo yoing. Make up your mind, and commit to one place. Stay the course.

[@mjr7771]

If a job in your field offers you more money you going to leave 9/10

[@joshuapaulgibson]

**RANT INCOMING** Glad to see that he chose to stay and hopefully other players took notice. Because at some point, whether it’s the easy way or the hard way, every single one of these kids will learn that life isn’t about $$$. A life decision and a business decision are two totally separate entities that connect with each other only when the right life decisions are made first and as we know 90% of the time the right thing to do in life isn’t the easy thing. The lack of basic structure in college sports isn’t doing any favors for any of these kids. In fact, it’s only harming them. The rules, policies and simple boundaries for the transfer portal, NIL and term limit of eligibility has to be addressed and solved ASAP!! NOBODY is benefitting from the way things are in the current state. Ok im done! Sorry for the rant and Roll Tide!

[@TerribleTurner1]

Zacharian branch in the transfer portal looking at bama👀👀

[@RollTideRoll_GSP]

With Keelon at QB, he can distribute the ball to as many weapons as we put out there. Maybe Austin Mack is ready as well! Between those two and Ty, one of them is gonna be ready to pass the ball at a high level!

[@doc8013]

​@@RollTideRoll_GSPI think Simpson is the guy. Hope so, I don't wanna rely on a freshman.

[@wealthyfuture999]

@@doc8013what is it with you people and the ty simpson obsession ? 😂

[@Diggz_NotNice]

​@@wealthyfuture999you know what the obsession is, nobody is ready to have that Convo tho. Lol. Look at the rest of the options and then look at Ty. This is Alabama were talking about, after all. It's a subconscious, innate HOPE that the "savior" be the guy that looks like you and you can relate to. And when I say "you" I'm not talking about YOU in particular.

[@wealthyfuture999]

@@Diggz_NotNice well said

[@nfcboys1984]

Kyle you look emotionally exhausted brother… like all of us!! 😂 Really don’t like this new world of college football we’re living in…

[@Tourwithterra]

I thought earlier today he looked tired. Hopefully he can get an intern or someone to fill in, so he can take some days off. His dedication is unmatched. ❤But We all need a break sometimes.

[@Jeff0608]

The thing is zabien brown beat him out for starter they both freshman i hope brown gets his bag because honestly i didnt care if he left or not this shits ridiculous

[@ocifer]

Small detail, but Zabien Brown had 2 INT on the season. One against Georgia and one VS Auburn.

[@WiserSquare]

I just hope this doesn't set the precident of "Hey let me say I'm going to the portal so I can get a raise". I'm happy he is back, but hope he is hungry for the grind.

[@BamaFootball]

Could be the case. Im sure that is happening a lot of places. That is college football's fault. Because there are no rules.

[@klimaxxx06]

Why not? Coaches and others do it.

[@Daniel-N-Iraq]

You know that every guy that isn’t getting what he thinks he should they are lining up outside Morgan’s office. I would

[@wealthyfuture999]

that has already been done before

[@ToddAtkinsShow]

Khmori House entered the portal. Freshman AA at Washington. Signed with DeBoer originally.

[@kalinchildress1260]

He was an athlete out of high school, he only played db because nick saban was the coach, now he’s going to be playing both wr and db.

[@christhepatriot4621]

Glad he’s staying.

[@SlowPoke.]

With his speed he could be a great slot receiver

[@BamaFootball]

Who will Alabama's starting WR's be next year?

[@Bwood22]

Ryan Williams

[@DanoP3]

Bubba Hampton

[@Bryan-L]

Yes, sir! Seeing him eneter the portal hurt the most go me. Tremendous upside and definitely would have left a much needed hole in our defense

[@Tailoredwright]

He didn’t even start !! And when he played he got cooked . I’m not breaking the bag ! He can be replaced

[@tylerdrake1113]

He was a freshman Brodie let him develop 😭😭

[@CedricChalmers]

He Hardly Played Corner In H.S. He Played Like Three Or Four Positions On The Offensive Side He’s Learning On The Job

[@doc8013]

He was a true freshman and playing only defense for the first time in his life. He is as fast as anyone on the team, a former high 5 star and an in-state kid with superstar potential. Yeah, let's tell him to kick rocks. Real smart.

[@Tourwithterra]

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Jeff0608]

Man why yall taking up for mbakwe hell zabien brown was a freshman to and he beat out mbakwe straight up

[@Thereverend27]

I’m also an Utah fan, go to every game. Calhoun has potential but he’s not better than anyone on bamas roster currently

[@vicvelasquez3782]

Basically showed it's about him and not the team

[@williamarmstrong8457]

Every one would probably hit the portal for 7 figures.

Kyle Bak was a starting QB in HS, idk where y'all are getting WR from??

[@BamaFootball]

There is some film of him out there I just saw. He looked smooth. But I got you. He’s just an elite athlete. I guess he told coach what he wanted and coach made it happen

[@Diggz_NotNice]

@@BamaFootball I do know that their most productive WR got injured and he had to move to WR because the backup QB was serviceable enough but I think that was only for a couple games I'm pretty sure, but he was recruited as an offensive ATH. Idk how he even ended up at DB, because that is the position he spent the LEAST amount of time.

[@ShortGame75]

He ended up at db. b/ c Saban recruited him

[@ky2dagoat535]

He played wr his freshman and sophomore year and the early stage of his junior year. He’s gonna was heavily recruited more for cb but had wr offers as well but the qb role he picked up can help him in his wr role even better

[@BamaFootball]

Do you think that Bak starts two ways in 2025?

[@jaredpalmer4404]

We need Branch from USC + Bak!

[@harryback1385]

Lil T Hunter with Bak

[@HORTONSOLOS16]

Let’s go bakkkkkkkkki

[@vicvelasquez3782]

Go ahead and leave we don't need players that can't make there mind up especially when we have one of the best programs

I surely don't care anymore!

[@Tailoredwright]

Yall fans want these soft guys . Earn a position. He ain’t start !!

[@michaelward1394]

So you are excited and happy for nothing…lol. This was a guy y’all said the reason why he was leaving is because he couldn’t be guaranteed a starting role. You’ve only got one player from the portal.

[@user-bd5ux2tu7tlsuhater]

He is atheletic but didnt play well at cb if stays needs to change position

[@sstewart44]

The good playoff teams players aren’t going to hit the portal until after their playoff games that’s what Bama is waiting on. Those players!Bama is the only team with talent to be poached right now. That’s what’s going on. I wish somebody would report that.

[@BamaFootball]

Such a great point

[@sstewart44]

@ please report that because other Talking Heads are saying nobody wants to be at bama. And bama has signed zero players.

[@doc8013]

​@@sstewart44Bama's not just waiting for those teams to finish playing, though. They're looking for talent everywhere.

[@BamaFootball]

Do you think he'll start next to RW next season?

[@bobjett3945]

your doing good job but this transfer portal/nil is going to burn down this great sport to easy to transfer and to much $ you cant know who will be where till they run on feild next fall. it is ashame i am 69 long time bama fan but this is perfect example of burning down your on house. it will destroy the game just wait 5 to 10 yrs if that long. it will have to be total changed which i doubt now or it will fall on its own ignorance..the old adage it is about the fans has been forgotten and they want stay with thiis insanity and greed.the nfl has more rules now then college. you cant give this much power to 16 and 17 yr olds.. this is really ashame.
