Alabama redshirt freshman cornerback Kendall Sheffield signed with Brenham, Tex./Blinn College.

Sheffield will be in JUCO for two semesters. Once he graduates he will transfer back to the Division 1 level.

He's allowed to return to the SEC if he desires.

Sheffield (Missouri City, Tex.,Fort Bend Marshall) opted to leave Alabama earlier this week.

Sheffield, who redshirted last season, will have three years of eligibility remaining following this season at JUCO.

Sheffield will play in the same secondary in Junior College as Alabama verbal commit Jhavonte Dean, the nation's No. 1 ranked JUCO cornerback prospect.
