The five-star freshman who left the Alabama program earlier this season may land in the Pac 12.

Defensive lineman Antonio Alfano is looking at Colorado as a potential transfer destination, sources told AL.com.

Six of Alfano’s eight most recent follows on Twitter are the official Colorado football Twitter account and people working within that football program, including head coach Mel Tucker and defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh.

Alfano, who was rated as the fifth-best overall player nationally in the 2019 recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, officially went into the NCAA transfer portal Oct. 16.

While Alfano was still living in Tuscaloosa, according to sources, he hadn’t been around the Crimson Tide program since early September and had stopped going to classes.

“I just know that the guy basically quit,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said in mid-September. "He quit going to class. He quit coming here. We tried to encourage him. We tried to help him. We had tried to set up counseling sessions with him to help him every way we could. ... But he didn’t respond to any of the things, so until he responds, you just have to assume the guy quit.”
