Probably the best linebacker currently on the market is coming from a rival of Alabama’s and it wouldn’t be all that shocking to see Henry To’o To’o pick Tuscaloosa as his new home.

With Jeremy Pruitt and Tennessee parting ways following the 2020 season, To’o To’o decided to enter his name in the transfer portal along with fellow Volunteer linebacker Quavaris Crouch. However, he’s probably the most productive linebacker still in the portal and if Alabama wants to replace Dylan Moses seamlessly, To’o To’o is the way to go.

In two years with the Volunteers, the former four-star linebacker from Concord, Calif., posted 140 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks to go along with an interception and four pass deflections.

The Crimson Tide are losing three starting linebackers from last year’s squad and To’o To’o could fill a need right away and he also has plenty of familiarity with them as he was a top target in the 2019 class, recruited heavily by Pete Golding.

To’o To’o would crack the starting lineup immediately and become a leader in the middle of that defense.
