In March, upon Nick Saban’s retirement, Proctor returned home to Iowa…
Iowa offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor is expected to re-enter the NCAA transfer portal after transferring back home to presumably play for the Hawkeyes in January, according to 247Sports. Not only is Proctor leaving the Hawkeyes before playing a snap, but he’s expected to return to Alabama after transferring from the Crimson Tide on the heels of a standout freshman season following Nick Saban’s retirement.
Proctor was a longtime Iowa commit as a high school recruit as the top player in the state out of Des Moines, Iowa, but he ultimately flipped to Saban and Alabama at the last minute on National Signing Day. He started all 14 games for the Crimson Tide at left tackle during their run to the College Football Playoff. After Saban announced his retirement, Proctor was one of several starters to put their name in the portal, ultimately ending up at Iowa.
“No bridges were burned,” Proctor said at the time. “That’s why it was so easy for me to pick them when I did enter the transfer portal, because we still have those relationships.”
