In an interesting series of events, one former Alabama linebacker that transferred to an ACC school last offseason has now transferred to an SEC school this offseason.
That would be former four-star linebacker Shawn Murphy. The native of Manassas, Virginia committed to South Carolina on Monday afternoon after spending the past three seasons at Alabama and Florida State.
Coming out of high school, Murphy signed with the Crimson Tide. In two seasons in Tuscaloosa, he played in 18 games. He recorded five tackles and one pass deflection. Following the 2023 season, Murphy entered the transfer portal and wound up at Florida State.
