Tuscaloosa County High Football Star In The Transfer Portal
This is a sad day and a missed opportunity.
Local high school football star and Alabama WR Sawyer Deerman is officially in the transfer portal.

Who came up with this idea?
I don't really believe it's good for college football.
Losing WR Sawyer Deerman is a shame and I predict it will come back to haunt us.
This speedy athlete will be a star at a different school.
He could have been a star here for the Crimson Tide.
The game today is really about offense and putting points on the board.
I can bore you with numerous examples of top-ranked offenses WINNING with speed on the football field.
Make one man miss and it's a TD.
Sawyer Deerman could have been used as an RB, WR and kick return specialist at Alabama.
I wrote about this during the 2023 season HERE.
Kalen DeBoer is an offensive guru and I had hopes for how he might use players like Deerman in the offense in 2024.
Well, it doesn't look like that will come to fruition in Tuscaloosa.
The first time Sawyer Deerman has a receiving TD and a 102-yard kick return for a TD you'll remember reading this story.
I really wish it could have happened for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
