Alabama football bolstered its 2025 offense through the transfer portal on Saturday. The Crimson Tide landed former Miami wide receiver Isaiah Horton’s commitment.
Horton announced the pledge on social media, in conjunction with Hayes Fawcett of On3.
Horton spent three seasons with the Hurricanes. He finished the 2024 campaign with 56 catches for 616 receiving yards, and five touchdowns.
That followed a 2023 season where he made 13 catches for 168 yards and a score. He redshirted his true freshman year, making one catch for six yards.
Horton played his high school football at Oakland in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and was a four-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports composite. He maintained that four-star rating as a transfer prospect.
Alabama recruited Horton at the time, but he chose the Hurricanes instead. Now, he can help a receiver room that will be at its most thin in Alabama’s next game.
The Crimson Tide will play the ReliaQuest Bowl with just four scholarship receivers. UA lost Cole Adams to injury earlier in the year, and then a parade of portal exits following the end of the regular season did a number on the position’s depth.
“We just gotta keep bringing more guys along with understanding the offense on a level to where they can step on the football and help us,” Alabama head coach Kalen Deboer said Wednesday.
The ReliaQuest Bowl, against Michigan, is scheduled for Dec. 31 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. It is set to kick off at 11 a.m. CT that day.
