Ale Kaho pivots on transfer destination, chooses another Pac-12 school

Former Crimson Tide linebacker Ale Kaho originally picked Utah as his transfer destination, but he has since changed his mind.

Ale Kaho entered the transfer portal in mid-February. Less than a week later, the now former Alabama linebacker announced he would be finishing his college career at Utah.

Well, that decision may have been a little premature. In fact, we now know that it was. On Monday night, Kaho once again took to Twitter to another that he wouldn’t be joining the Utes.

Instead, he’ll join another school from the Pac-12 — UCLA. It’s an interesting pivot for the former four-star prospect, but Kaho clearly feels like that’s the better opportunity for him. He mentioned as much in his tweet.

The Bruins are known for putting quality linebackers in the NFL, so this decision makes sense from that aspect. Whether it’s Eric Kendricks, Anthony Barr, Jayon Brown or others, the quality play at the position has been consistent.

He’ll still end up out west, and it will still be in the same conference. It’ll just be with Chip Kelly and UCLA. Either way, good for Kaho!
