OT Kadyn Proctor is one of the most valuable weapons that Alabama has. So, after missing out on the first two games due to a shoulder injury, his season debut announcement triggered lots of reactions. 

As per a report by Matt Zenitz, Kadyn Proctor is expected to return to action in their road game against Wisconsin on Saturday. However, not everyone is thrilled about the return of the 6’7, 360 pounder. And the interesting thing is that most of the hate stems from the Iowa fanbase. 

Kadyn Proctor jumped into the transfer portal when Nick Saban retired and ultimately landed with Iowa amid much celebration. But three months later, he found himself back in Alabama. He said of the whole incident in an exclusive interview with 247Sports, “It was humbling because I’m not really the type of person to do that.” But Iowa fans are left with a grudge against him like this person who wrote on X, “He’s a b—-. Gonna get owned. Also his mom’s a h–.”

Alabama didn’t play to their standard in their last game against South Florida as they led by just 14-13 at the start of the fourth quarter. That has left a question mark in their upcoming game against Wisconsin. But for many fans including one analyst Joel Klatt believes that Kadyn Proctor’s presence in the game could make a change in the Crimson Tide’s offense. Still, there are hurt feelings from Iowa fans that are getting loud.

Iowa fans lash out at Kadyn Proctor

Iowa seemingly hasn’t gotten over the grudge that Kadyn Proctor gave them hope and crushed it. An Iowa supporter wrote, “Dude is just a big garbage can.” The OT’s controversial transfer has left its stains. 

Kadyn Proctor started Alabama in 2023 but decommitted after Nick Saban’s retirement and joined Iowa. Another Iowa supporter expressed sarcasm saying, “Did he finally make weight?” After all, his commitment and decommitment with the Hawkeyes even led the program to self-report a Level III violation to the NCAA.

One person voiced their wish to see him have a hard time playing against Wisconsin. Imploring the Badgers, they wrote, “@BadgersFootball take him out.” It will be interesting to see what goes down the field against Wisconsin. 

Another user backed the previous reaction. They said, “Hope Wisconsin beats his ass.” Still, Kadyn Proctor’s presence is expected to brighten things up for the Crimson Tide, who suffered offensively in Week 2. Both fans and critics are waiting in anticipation of what would happen to Proctor.
