Alabama has had a tremendous offseason when it comes to utilizing the transfer portal with one of its main acquisitions being former LSU cornerback Eli Ricks.
Ricks, a former five-star, transferred to the Crimson Tide back in December after two seasons with the Tigers.
On Monday, Ricks provided fans with their first look of him in the crimson and white.

Having Ricks join the team gives Alabama cornerbacks room another boost of experience as both of the team’s primary starters Josh Jobe and Jayln Armour-Davis declared for the NFL Draft. Ricks will likely be playing alongside rising sophomore Kool-Aid McKinstry who started the team’s last four games including the entirety of the postseason.
