#78 - Shane Lee (transfer) (thrown into role way too early in 2019, played his arse off, limited PT next 2 years)
#308 - Jahleel Billingsley (transfer) (had a breakout 2020 and an equally breakout the other way 2021)


13 of the 27 guys in this class will have transferred by year-end (at least). Maybe that's just part of it these days I guess, hu?

Hope he gets a good landing spot. Playing the Mike as a true freshman in this defense. He got smoked a good bit but he gave a shite.

Absolutely - wish we were able to give him the proper send off on a senior day. He went out there every Saturday knowing he wasn't mentally or physically ready to play and he still played his absolute arse off every play. I'll certainly never forget it.

18 class was pretty bad too.

Bama got a lot of mileage out of that legendary 2017 class.

Lots of Bama “bumps” turned into Bama “busts”.
