Arrr, the swashbucklin' scallywag Seth McLaughlin, a landlubber of the Alabama Crimson Tide, hath ventured into the treacherous transfer portal! Avast! His wobbly snaps be as unpredictable as a ship caught in a squall, bringin' shame upon the crew's defeat to Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
Alabama center Seth McLaughlin has faced criticism for his snapping abilities during the Rose Bowl game against Michigan. The criticism was so severe that by Wednesday, McLaughlin was reportedly considering leaving Alabama altogether. He has entered the transfer portal and is expected to play for a new school in 2024.McLaughlin's snapping issues became a major problem during the College Football Playoff semifinal, particularly on the final snap of the game, which was low and affected the quarterback's ability to score. The relationship between the quarterback and center is crucial, and McLaughlin's performance was not up to par.
Before the season started, McLaughlin was even on the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, which is awarded to the best center in the nation. However, his performance did not live up to expectations, and he has now joined at least 10 other Alabama players in entering the transfer portal.
Alabama's depth chart at center still includes graduate Darrian Dalcourt and redshirt sophomore James Brockermeyer, so the team has options to fill the position. It remains to be seen where McLaughlin will continue his college football career.
Overall, McLaughlin's snapping abilities have become a point of concern for Alabama, leading to his decision to transfer to a new school. It will be interesting to see how this decision impacts both McLaughlin's future and Alabama's center position moving forward.
