There are rumors on Auburn boards that he is leaving alabama and will try to walk on at auburn. Have yall heard anything about this? IMO, he was one who Saban recruited just to keep him away from auburn in the first place. He fits nowhere into alabamas offense, and would be perfect in auburns in the mccalebb role.

And Auburn fans, would you be happy with this?

I for one, would. Let him come on over....i really wanted him out of HS.

people assume that just because he was a quick/shifty guy out of high school that he has no place in Alabama's offense. He has actually put on a good amount of weight and looks much more like a true running back.
I wouldn't be surprised if he left.. But I don't know why he would.

I'm not going to claim to have inside knowledge like some people around here but I don't know what purpose or role Corey Grant has anymore after Saban secured the commitment of Dee Hart. He basically has the same skillset as Grant except he's way better.

It wouldn't be a shock. I think Dee Hart has kinda pushed him to the side. They are pretty much same kinda player except Dee is a bit better at everything.

Makes absolutely no sense. He's no worse than 4th on the depth chart, and just saw Demetrius Goode transfer. He would see playing time. But he's going to leave and walk-on elsewhere? Sure. I'll believe it, when I see it.

I usually do not have inside info but I actually have knowledge about this. It is true that CG is not happy at Alabama and is looking to transfer and wants to go to Auburn. The source of the rumors is Coach McCracken of Opelika (huge Auburn homer). Saban found out CG was unhappy and called Coach McCracken to see if he had talked to CG and if there was anyway to talk him out of transferring. Coach McCracken has been telling anyone who will listen about this.

The addition of Dee Hart is the main reason he is wanting to transfer. CG thought he was coming in to be a return specialist and a smaller RB for change of pace. Dee Hart came in and within 3 months had beaten him out at both positions.

Saban is trying to get him to stay but I have a feeling he is gone.

Ultimatley I think he ends up transferring to USA or UNA. Doubt he makes it to Auburn.

Wish him the best if true. Would do great in space in the barns offense.

Just saw this posted on the AE. A guy actually called this back in January..

I've heard than since he plans on walking on, he will only have to sit out 1 year.
