Alabama transfers Daylon Charlot, Charles Baldwin a catch for Kansas

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- When Daylon Charlot meets a football fan or fellow student at Kansas, the conversation shifts abruptly at even the slightest mention of his former school.

Charlot, the No. 8-rated receiver prospect in the Class of 2015, played sparingly as a true freshman on Alabama's College Football Playoff title-winning team.

You transferred here from Alabama? That's right.

People get excited. They want to know his number and wear his jersey.

"It's crazy," Charlot said, "but I don't let it get to me."

Alabama has lost 13 games in the past nine seasons under Nick Saban, and it's played in all three editions of the College Football Playoff.
