Barnett Officially Withdraws from Alabama

TUSCALOOSA, AL. (WCBI) — Alabama Crimson Tide redshirt freshman quarterback Blake Barnett officially transfer from the university Thursday, as confirmed by head coach Nick Saban.

Saban said in a statement Thursday, ““We received word this afternoon that Blake Barnett has officially withdrawn from school and is no longer with our program. The quarterback position is a very unique position where only one player can play. We are very disappointed any time a player leaves the program who feels he can compete for a starting position elsewhere, rather than here at Alabama. We wish Blake the very best of luck in the future.”

Fellow freshman Jalen Hurts has been successful as starter, throwing five touchdowns to only one interception, and also adds three rushing scores.

#1 Alabama (4-0) hosts Kentucky this Saturday.
