Alabama coach Nick Saban denied the program tampered with wide receiver Tyler Harrell before he entered the transfer portal.
Harrell transferred from Louisville to Alabama in April.
“I don’t know of anybody that tampered with him,” Saban told reporters Wednesday. “You know, I don’t really know that anybody’s ever tampered with our players. I just think sometimes when things happen it makes you wonder. So I’m not making any accusations against anybody that’s done anything to our players, and I don’t have any knowledge of anybody that’s done anything with anybody else’s players.”
Louisville coach Scott Satterfield told Chris Hummer of 247Sports he believes tampering took place with Harrell before he decided to enter the transfer portal.
“I think it’s not only him, it’s happened before here,” Satterfield said. “Last year we had a few guys that jumped into the portal and the next day they’re announcing where they’re going. You can look at that and know that something went on before they were in the portal.”
