Christian Bell is a greyshirt freshman for Alabama, but it looks like he will be heading elsewhere. He sent out this tweet on Sunday announcing his intentions to transfer out of the university despite just being there for a little less than a year.

According to 247Sports, Bell was a three-star recruit, No. 445 overall prospect, No. 19 weak-side defensive end and No. 17 player in the state of Alabama in 2014.
