Former Alabama DB announces transfer commitment to Florida State


Former Alabama football defensive back Earl Little Jr. announced his transfer to Florida State on Saturday. Little entered the transfer portal following the Crimson Tide’s overtime loss to Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinals on Monday.

Little announced the news in a social media post, showing himself in an FSU uniform. He spent two seasons in Tuscaloosa.

The cornerback mostly provided depth in the defensive backfield for the Tide this season, finishing the year with two total tackles. He also contributed on special teams.

UA cornerback Terrion Arnold praised Little’s efforts before the season.

“Earl is a great playmaker, great teammate, great guy,” Arnold said in August. I’ve seen a lot of different things. I would say the No. 1 thing I’ve seen out of Earl is his maturity. He doesn’t get too high, doesn’t get too low and he just continues to come in here and work every day.”

He joined Alabama as a four-star prospect out of American Heritage in Florida. He chose the Crimson Tide over offers from the Seminoles, Southern Cal and Arizona State among others.

His two seasons at Alabama were marred by shoulder injuries. Most recently, he tore his labrum, with the LSU game as his final on-field appearance of the year.

Little was among a flurry of players to exit Alabama’s roster via the transfer portal after the season ended. UA players got an extended window to do so due to CFP participation, gaining the ability to enter through Saturday.

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.
