North Carolina TE Carl Tucker Announces He's Transferring to Alabama
Some major news has arrived for Nick Saban and Alabama, who have out-battled numerous teams to land a highly-touted tight end. Oh, but he's not a 2020 recruit.
Nope, the Crimson Tide have added a grad transfer TE in North Carolina's Carl Tucker. He took to Twitter on Wednesday night to announce he'll be wrapping up his college career in the SEC.

Make no mistake about it, this is a big addition for the Tide. Tucker was a wanted man, with Florida State, Tennessee, Washington, Wake Forest and others trying to get him on campus.
The idea of playing for Saban and Alabama was simply too much to pass up on. In his career with North Carolina, Tucker, a 2015 signee, caught 36 balls for 549 yards and four touchdowns.
UNC to Alabama tight end transfer Carl Tucker is a very willing blocker. Good physicality. Doesn’t back down. Gives great effort. Understands angles. Actually pretty good in pass pro. Good on the move as well. (Bottom of screen here) thread⬇️ pic.twitter.com/kYwqtA751t

Alabama beating out several teams to land a stud player? What else is new, as the richer most certainly get richer.
