Alabama to lose a former four-star LB to transfer

Another transfer for Alabama.

The problem with having one of the top recruiting classes every year is that, at some point, some quality players are going to get buried on the depth chart.

Apparently that is how freshman linebacker Adonis Thomas felt, as AL.com reported on Wednesday that he will transfer from the program due to limited playing time.

Thomas, a former four-star recruit out of Lawrenceville, GA, will transfer to a junior college and then look for a next school after the season. The early leaders may be Georgia and Florida, two schools that were high on him during the 2015 recruiting period.

Thomas redshirted in 2015, and never took a snap with the Crimson Tide.
