“I AM BACK” Offensive lineman who left Alabama hints at transferring back to Crimson Tide

However, shortly after head coach Nick Saban retired, Proctor entered the portal and visited his hometown school, which he had grown up admiring.

“Ultimately, this is where I wanted to be.” When I logged into the transfer portal, it was the first location that came to mind. So I had my mind made up when I entered the transfer portal,” Proctor told The Athletic on his decision to transfer to Iowa.

However, two months later, following a spring break trip with his Crimson Tide teammates, all indicators lead to him returning to Alabama.

Proctor has already chosen the Crimson Tide over Iowa. He had committed to Iowa in high school, but changed his mind on early signing day.

“It is unfortunate that Kadyn has informed us of his intentions to leave our program today,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz stated earlier this week. “We wish him well in the future.”

Proctor cannot access the portal until next month since he is not a graduate. So he is still classified as an active player on Iowa’s roster.

He was the top offensive lineman in the high school Class of 2023 and the seventh-ranked athlete overall.
