On Saturday, Alabama football added some offensive line support via the transfer site. Geno VanDeMark, a former interior offensive lineman for Michigan State, committed to the Crimson Tide for the next campaign.
At Michigan State, the 6-foot-5, 325-pound offensive lineman was coached by Alabama’s offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic. In Tuscaloosa, he will have two more years of eligibility left.
Before the spring transfer portal window opened, Kalen DeBoer, the head coach of the Crimson Tide, identified the offensive line as a need.
“Offensive line, we’re probably a guy short,” DeBoer said. “Just from the numbers that you typically would see and also where we want to be.”
The Crimson Tide already added a tackle commitment in the spring portal, bringing back a familiar face in Kadyn Proctor. The starting left tackle for UA last season, Proctor had transferred to Iowa, but decided to head back to Tuscaloosa after a brief stint with the Hawkeyes.
The interior offensive line lost a member during the spring window, when James Brockermeyer committed to TCU. Brockermeyer was competing with Washington transfer Parker Brailsford for the center job.
