Out with the purple and gold, in with crimson and white—Eli Ricks announced he is transferring to Alabama.
The sophomore cornerback is leaving Baton Rouge after an injury-plagued season that saw him enter his name into the transfer portal in November.
The former five-star recruit started seven games and tallied four interceptions during his freshman campaign in 2020, landing him third-team All-America and second-team All-SEC honors from the Associated Press.
During the 2021 campaign, Ricks had 11 tackles (nine solo) and played in just six games before his season was cut short due to a shoulder injury.
