Kadyn Proctor, a 6’8 365 OT and highly regarded offensive lineman, is expected to leave the University of Iowa and re-enter the transfer portal, with a likely return to the University of Alabama. Proctor, who started every game for the Crimson Tide as a true freshman and was ranked as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the Portal Rankings, transferred to Iowa after Nick Saban's retirement. However, his tenure with the Iowa Hawkeyes was short-lived, as he announced his decision to re-enter the transfer portal when it re-opens on April 16. Proctor's move back to Alabama is seen as a significant development, given his status as a five-star recruit and his initial transfer commitment to his home state Iowa Hawkeyes in January. He received Freshman All-American and 1st Team Freshman All-SEC Honors in 2023. Iowa's head coach, Kirk Ferentz, expressed regret over Proctor's decision to leave the program.
