Jumbo Package: Dr. Matt Rhea headed to the NFL

Happy Tuesday, everyone. Not much going on today, but we did find out that Matt Rhea is leaving for New Orleans.

Ballou, on the other hand, appears to be staying in Tuscaloosa after New Orleans also showed interest in him, sources tell BamaOnLine. Pate also reported Monday that Ballou is expected to remain at UA. Ballou simply tweeted #RollTide a week ago, likely indicating his intentions.

It isn’t surprising that Rhea is taking the leap. He has a Ph.D, has reached the pinnacle of success at the college level, and based on his social media posts he has the ego to match.
