Keanu Koht leaving Alabama's football team affects depth chart.
TLDR: Alabama football is losing linebacker Keanu Koht, who has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Koht, a redshirt junior, announced his decision following suspension from Alabama’s lineup, where he did not play against Mercer. Head coach Kalen DeBoer previously mentioned Koht’s suspension but provided no specific reasons or timeline for his return. Now aiming for a fresh start in 2025, Koht’s departure further challenges Alabama’s lineup, especially after the recent injury to Que Robinson. Koht’s exit leaves Alabama thin at the Wolf linebacker position with Qua Russaw starting and less experienced players such as Yhonzae Pierre now expected to step up and fill the gaps. While Koht hasn’t been a major contributor during his stint, his absence worsens the team’s depth, potentially exerting extra pressure on remaining players as they recalculate their defensive strategies moving forward.
Alabama’s football squad is brACING themselves for new challenges as linebacker Keanu Koht has decided to move on. The news came out on Tuesday that Koht is working on entering the NCAA’s transfer portal. This significant development was first noted after Koht, a redshirt junior, was missing on the official trip to Baton Rouge, facing off against LSU. Head coach Kalen DeBoer later confirmed that Koht was suspended and would miss the Mercer game—a decision with no timeline or reasons publicly provided.
Now, in the light of this announcement, it’s confirmed: Koht intends to find new pastures come 2025. The revelation couldn’t have come at a more critical time, as Alabama recently felt the sting of Que Robinson’s season-ending injury. These events leave the Crimson Tide walking a fine line at the Wolf linebacker position, with Qua Russaw presently taking the lead.
Koht, at one point, held potential to contribute positively to the Alabama roster. Although he hadn’t left a notable mark on the field, his role as an experienced player remained crucial for depth. With his sudden exit alongside Robinson’s sidelining, the defense is threading a tightrope. The pressure is now placed heavily on the younger talents, where the likes of Yhonzae Pierre might be thrust into the spotlight sooner than anticipated.
This latest shake-up has undeniably tightened the defensive screws for Alabama, making them re-align strategies mid-course. As the team progresses through the season, they now rely on Russaw’s heightened presence and the provided opportunity for young blood to rise up and seize the moment. It’s time for Alabama’s supporting cast to show their grit, filling the gaps left by seasoned players like Koht.
