Riley Cole, a 6'3", 230 pound linebacker out of Oneonta, Alabama, received a scholarship offer from Wake Forest University on June 10th. It was his first Power 5 offer. On June 11th, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide also extended Cole a scholarship offer, and he essentially committed to the Tide on the spot. On Sunday, however, Cole learned that his scholarship offer was going to turn into a grayshirt offer. Cole wasn't fond of this, and decommitted from the Tide on Sunday afternoon, just a few days before National Signing Day.
