Former Rivals #53 overall recruit in 2013, Altee Tepenny, is set to transfer from Alabama according to his twitter. Tepenny had 48 attempts for 218 yards and one touchdown during his time with the Crimson Tide.
“The past 2 years with the Crimson Tide has been a great experience! I wouldn’t trade it for anything! It’s time to start a new chapter!”

It was a crowded backfield at Alabama last season with Derrick Henry, and TJ Yeldon who recently declared for the draft. With Henry still in the mix and two top 10 running back recruits coming in Tepenny saw the writing on the wall. Tepenny will still have two years of eligibility remaining after he sits out the NCAA required one year. There probably aren’t many schools who wouldn’t want to give this kid a look.
The tweet has since been deleted so we will see what happens, nonetheless it is still a very crowded backfield at Alabama.
