Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey drops bold statement about playing for alma mater: "I would not have transferred back lol"

Former Alabama and current Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey found himself amid a storm of fan resentment after former coach Nick Saban retired from his Crimson Tide job in January.

Humphrey angered Bama fans with a tweet suggesting that he would have entered the transfer portal had Saban retired during his tenure as a Tide player (2014-2016).

“I would have been in that portal so fast after I heard Saban retiring lol,” Humphrey wrote on X.

More recently, when a fan asked him on X whether he would have transferred back to Bama after entering the transfer portal, Humphrey reiterated his stance from January, attracting fresh resentment from fans.

He tweeted in response:

"I would not have transferred back lol," Humphrey tweeted.

After the Crimson Tide narrowly beat the South Florida Bulls 17-3 after losing to the Texas Longhorns at the start of last season, Marlon Humphrey was among those who predicted the end of the Nick Saban dynasty.

"Dynastys can’t last forever. It was a nice run though, Analyst Humph," Humphrey tweeted.
