Former LSU standout five-star cornerback Eli Ricks just recently announced he would be leaving Baton Rouge and transferring to Tuscaloosa. Now, just days after his announcement, he is in Tuscaloosa suited up and interacting with his new teammates.
Ricks was a 2020 All-American defensive back and managed to tally 31 tackles and five interceptions in two seasons, but has suffered minor injuries that set him back a bit.
