According to 247Sports, “Carter spoke to Alabama’s coaches on Friday to discuss his future. Both parties decided Carter would be best served with a fresh start, an opportunity to prove himself after an up-and-down debut season in Tuscaloosa.”

“I talked to everybody yesterday. They’re really supportive about everything. They talked to the coaches at Gulf Coast and were helping to get everything ready. Me and Coach (Nick) Saban were getting on the right page.

If I go there and do everything I’m supposed to and all that, we’ll go from there.”

Scooby Carter, entered the transfer portal for the second time in February.

He was originally in the portal in November, but then withdrew his name in January.

Carter also shared with 247Sports that his goal is to return to Tuscaloosa:

“I’m still wanting to be at Alabama. I wasn’t always on the right foot. … It’s having a clean slate and showing that I can have my head down and focus on the right thing.”

And Saban himself made a comment on Scooby’s situation at the Citrus Bowl this January:

“Scooby can have another opportunity to be on the team, and if he wants to start with the team next semester in school, we’ll give him another opportunity at that time. He did OK in school, and we’re trying to be supportive and helpful to get him to do the things that he needs to do to have a chance to be successful as a person, as a student and as a player, and we’ll give him an opportunity to come back next semester, if he wants to do that.”

Carter played in three games last season, and recorded one tackle.

Rising sophomore defensive back, Scooby Carter, recently announced he has re-entered the NCAA transfer portal after removing his name from the system when he originally submitted his name into the portal in November of 2019.

Not much information has become available to the public as to why he is seeking to transfer from the university of Alabama.

On Mar. 1 Carter took to Twitter to clear the air and squat any rumors regarding his relationship with the program or his teammates. He also let it be known that it was not due to his ranking on the Crimson Tide depth chart.

Carter cites “personal reasons” as the explanation for his entrance to the transfer portal.

The message posted by the form four-star defensive back helps us eliminate what the reason could be, but is too vague to give anyone any ideas.

The Texas native has not yet announced where he will be transferring to, but Roll Tide Wire will keep you updated on Carter’s journey through the transfer portal and into another program.

BREAKING: Alabama CB Scooby Carter enters transfer portal

Alabama could be losing a member of its 2019 recruiting class in DB Scooby Carter, who announced he’d be entering the transfer portal.

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.
