The first Alabama transfer to announce his decision was offensive lineman Tanner Bowles. On Thursday, Bowles told Kentucky Sports Radio that he was transferring to Kentucky.
This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise as Bowles is a Kentucky native. Despite playing sparingly with the Tide, he was still able to garner enough interest to return home and play for the Wildcats.
In four seasons, Bowles played in 19 games for the Tide. He primarily played on special teams while also serving as a reserve offensive guard. When asked about his decision to transfer from the program, here is what Bowles said:
“Can’t be more appreciative to Coach Saban and all he’s done for me but things happen where you feel like you might not get exactly what you want out of it.”
It will be interesting to see how Bowles fairs along the Cats’ offensive line. Alabama will travel to Kentucky next season in a late-November matchup.
