Alabama reserve DB, Eddie Smith, announces decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal

Alabama football will lose a member from its 2018 signing class to the transfer portal.

I want to thank the University of Alabama and coach Saban for believing in me. I also want to thank my brothers for lifelong memories made. Although this was a tough decision, after much thought and prayer I have decided to enter the transfer portal.

Eddie Smith, a reserve defensive back, announced his decision to enter the portal on Wednesday via Twitter.

A redshirt sophomore, Smith arrived as a three-star safety with instincts, versatility and ball skills.
