Former Alabama WR Chris Black to play at SEC school next season

A former Alabama receiver is headed to another SEC school for his final year of eligibility.

Chris Black confirmed to AL.com he was headed to Missouri after deciding against a senior season at Alabama. Since he graduated, he'll be eligible to play immediately.

Black said he considered Arizona State and Maryland before landing at Missouri.

A former 4-star prospect, Black caught 25 passes for 290 yards in three Alabama seasons. After a promising spring in 2012, Black was injured in preseason practice and was forced to redshirt his first season.

Former Alabama receiver Chris Black says a story took him out of context and he loved his time at Alabama.
