Former Alabama linebacker Ben Davis announced his decision to transfer to the University of Texas for his final year of eligibility. Davis, a former five-star recruit, worked at both inside and outside linebacker in his five seasons with the Crimson Tide.
He announced his decision to enter the transfer portal two months ago and will be joining former Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian with the Longhorns.
Alabama has had seven players enter the NCAA transfer portal with six choosing to enroll at different programs. Davis (Texas) joins defensive lineman Ishmael Sopsher (USC) linebackers Ale Kaho (UCLA) and Kevin Harris (Georgia Tech) defensive back Eddie Smith (Illinois) and kicker Joseph Bulovas (Vanderbilt).
