Exactly. He assumed he would be a starter following his suspension until he found out others had passed him on the depth chart and Saban couldn't promise him playing time. So he transferred.

But who passed him and when? He was the most productive TE in the spring from what I’ve read.

He seems to be the ideal replacement for an explosive TE like OJ or Irv.

Kedrick is one of the freakiest guys on the team as far as physical prowess goes," tight end Miller Forristall said last year. "I mean, he’s huge and he can run and he can jump, and I’ve seen him throw a ball like 65 yards standing still. He is athletically tremendously talented, and he’s got huge potential.”

The other names mentioned seem like check down guys rather than explosive weapons.
