Alabama Lands Coveted Secondary Transfer

On Monday, Alabama bolstered its secondary by securing a commitment from Charlotte transfer Kameron Howard. In his freshman season, Howard participated in 12 games, starting two, and amassed 38 tackles, one pass breakup, and two interceptions.
Howard joins the Crimson Tide as the third transfer this spring, joining offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor from Iowa and Graham Nicholson, a Lou Groza Award-winning kicker from Miami-Ohio. The spring transfer window is set to close on Tuesday.
Standing at 5-foot-11 and 189-pounds, the talented safety will strengthen a key position for Alabama, which was left vulnerable after several players entered the NFL Draft and following the retirement of head coach Nick Saban in January.

- With the New Orleans Pelicans’ elimination by the Oklahoma City Thunder, former Alabama forward Herb Jones’ stint as the last Crimson Tide player in the 2024 NBA Playoffs has concluded.
- Cliff Omoruyi, a 6-foot-11 forward transfer from Rutgers, finished his official visit to Alabama on Monday. Omoruyi is a high-priority recruit, and securing his commitment could be a significant addition for the Crimson Tide, provided lead recruiter and assistant coach Preston Murphy and his team can finalize the deal.

Pittsburgh Steelers sign hard-nosed South Alabama fullback

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed South Alabama hybrid tight end and fullback DJ Thomas-Jones to an undrafted free-agent contract, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Thomas-Jones joins the Steelers as their fullback for the offseason after they failed to add one in free agency. They pursued All-Pro Kyle Juszczyk after he was released, but he chose to sign back with the San Francisco 49ers.
Thomas-Jones ran a 4.63 40-yard dash at his pro day after measuring 6-foot-1, 250 pounds. With MyCole Pruitt still a free agent, Thomas-Jones will plop into his role and compete with Connor Heyward and Donald Parham for bottom-of-the-roster snaps.
In 2024, Thomsa-Jones had 22 receptions for 191 yards and three touchdowns, with his best game coming against Texas State, where he posted 59 yards on five receptions.
He began his career at the University of Mississippi before transferring to South Alabama. While in Mobile, he was the starting tight end and worked as a fullback starting in his sophomore season.
Thomas-Jones was a native of Mobile, and returned home to play for South Alabama. He had over 200 receiving yards in his sophomore and junior seasons before seeing a dip in his production during his senior campaign.

Married Alabama lunch lady, 41, sacked for having sex with student at her home: report

A married Alabama lunch lady was reportedly sacked from her job after she was busted for — and later confessed to – allegedly having sex with a teen student whom she brought to her home on two occasions.
Amy Nicole Wigginton, 41, lost her cafeteria position at Lauderdale County High School in Rogersville after a unanimous vote by the district’s Board of Education on Wednesday, according to Times Daily.
The depraved worker was initially placed on administrative leave following her April 4 arrest, where she waived her rights and fessed up to the sick acts, WAAY TV reported.
Lauderdale County School District did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Wigginton, who is married with children, according to her Facebook, told police she had sex with the male student on March 7 and 31, court documents obtained by the news outlet showed.
The alleged sexual tryst took place at her family home in Rogersville, Times Daily reported, which also cited her as working in the school’s child nutrition program.
Authorities did not specify the student’s age but noted in court documents that he is younger than 19. The age of consent is 16 in the Heart of Dixie.
She was charged with two counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act with a student.
The alleged predator was booked at the Lauderdale County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond that she posted shortly after her arrest, court docs showed.
Wigginton is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on June 23, the outlet reported.
