Rising redshirt-senior linebacker for the Crimson Tide [autotag]Jaylen Moody[/autotag] entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal shortly after Alabama’s loss to Georgia in the national title game. He quickly removed his name and is now speaking on why he made the decision.
Moody joined Alabama as a three-star prospect from South Carolina and hasn’t seen too much playing time and has yet to serve as a regular starter for the program.
In four seasons with the Crimson Tide, Moody has amassed 45 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, one interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Moody now claims that he is ready to be a starting linebacker for the Crimson Tide in what will be his final collegiate season.
During media availability today, Moody was quick to state that he wants his presence to be felt on the field.

He says that Alabama’s program, Nick Saban and the coaching staff have molded him as a man, not just as a player.
"Alabama transformed me into the man I am today,” Crimson Tide LB Jaylen Moody said.

While considering other schools, Moody claims that Alabama is the place for him.
