Alabama LB, former top-75 recruit, opts for transfer portal after 2 seasons


Alabama LB Shawn Murphy is looking to continue his career elsewhere after two seasons with the Crimson Tide.

Nick Saban’s retirement opened a 30-day window for UA undergraduates to enter the NCAA transfer portal, and Murphy is taking advantage of the opportunity. He will be a redshirt sophomore in 2024.

Murphy was a sought-after recruit, picking up 45 scholarship offers out of Unity Reed High School in Manassas, Virginia. On the 247Sports Composite, Murphy was rated 4-stars, the No. 2 player in the state of Virginia, No. 6 linebacker and No. 72 prospect overall in the Class of 2022. He signed with Alabama over offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M and others.

In 2022, Murphy took advantage of the NCAA’s amended redshirt rules. He played in 4 regular-season contests and the Sugar Bowl for a 5-game redshirt, finishing with 2 tackles and 1 pass breakup.

This past season, Murphy appeared in 13 games. He was a special teams contributor who also logged snaps on defense. Murphy finished with 3 tackles in the 2023 campaign.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach




Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills


Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
