Alabama redshirt freshman linebacker Adonis Thomas is transferring, AL.com reported Wednesday.
Thomas, a former four-star recruit from Lawrenceville, Georgia, did not play last season because of the redshirt. According to AL.com, Thomas will transfer to a junior college this season before leaving for another school in January.
Per NCAA transfer rules, Thomas would have to sit out the 2016 season if he transfers to another FBS program.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Thomas was unlikely to see significant playing time this season behind several veteran players at the position, including senior Reuben Foster and junior Shaun Dion Hamilton, both probable starters.
