On the heels of backup defensive lineman Khurtiss Perry's announcement on Tuesday that he's transferring, another Tide lineman is entering the transfer portal. Today, it was announced that redshirt junior center James Brockermeyer is leaving the program. Brockermeyer finished spring drills as the number one center on A-Day and he would have had an opportunity to seriously challenge redshirt sophomore Parker Brailsford for the job in August camp. Instead, the former four-star prospect from Ft Worth has decided to move on to another program.Alabama center James Brockermeyer has entered the transfer portal, @mzenitz and I have learned for @247Sports.

What we're hearing on Omoruyi, Nelson & Stevenson
On Sunday I mentioned that the next 24-48 hours would ve crucial in terms of Alabama's chances at landing Rutgers transfer Cliff Omoruyi. The 6-11, 240-pound center is coming off a weekend visit to Georgetown, and that visit appears to have gone very well, according to a few sources we've spoken with. The question now is, what will Omoruyi do next? Will he commit to Georgetown or will he follow through with a visit to Alabama this weekend?

For the second straight day, Alabama catcher Mac Guscette hit a grand slam against top-ranked Texas A&M. This time, it helped his team win and avoid a sweep. Guscette's big fly came with one out in the Tide second for the game's first four runs, and Bama went on to beat the Aggies 10-9.
Holloway to Alabama
As noted by TI on Friday evening, we expected former Auburn five-star guard Aden Holloway to wait until today to announce his commitment to Alabama.
