Alabama could lose one of the key members in its 2019 recruiting class, as true freshman defensive back Scooby Carter announced via his Twitter account that he would be entering the transfer portal.
That news, of course, was announced on Monday night.

The 6-foot, 186-pound corner was a top 100 prospect coming out of Mansfield Legacy High School in Mansfield (Tex.). According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Carter was rated as the No. 91 overall player, No. 9 cornerback and No. 15 player from the state of Texas.
Gabe Brooks with 247Sports had described him as a “long, lean and very athletic prospect who projects as a true cornerback at the high-major level.”
Unfortunately for Carter, Alabama had a lot of veteran leadership returning at cornerback with Trevon Diggs, Patrick Surtain II, Shyheim Carter, Josh Jobe and Jalyn Armour-Davis all still ahead of him on the depth chart.
Hopefully, Carter is able to land somewhere that will be able to give him the opportunity to see the field, whether that is in 2020 or beyond.
