The news comes after the Crimson Tide’s seven-time National Championship winning head coach, Nick Saban retired from coaching earlier this afternoon.
The 6-foot, 165-pound wide receiver issues a statement to On3 about his decision:
“First off I would like to thank God, my family, and anyone else who has helped me make it to this point… but with careful consideration with my family I will be decommitting from the University of Alabama … respect my decision.”
