In the words of Justin Timberlake, “What goes around comes around.” Last season LSU took one of the top players from the transfer portal, Luke [autotag]Holman[/autotag]. They took him away from Alabama. This time, the shoe is on the other foot.
[autotag]Brady Neal[/autotag] has announced that he is leaving Baton Rouge and taking his talents to Tuscaloosa to play for [autotag]Rob Vaughn[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The sophomore catcher from Tallahassee, Florida, split time with [autotag]Alex Milazzo[/autotag] and [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] at catcher this season but he still had a pretty good season.
Neal played in 44 games and finished with a .276 batting average with eight doubles, nine homers, and 31 RBI. Alabama over-achieved this season in Vaughn’s first year. They are losing starting catcher Mac Guscette and Neal has the talent to step in on day one and become a starter and an everyday player for the Tide next season.
