Alabama benefitted from landing a graduate transfer receiver last year. So it went out and found another now that Richard Mullaney's time is through.

Bowling Green's Gehrig Dieter announced Saturday he would be moving from the MAC to the SEC. In his Twitter announcement, Dieter said he also considered going straight to the NFL or attending Wake Forest for graduate school. He will finish his undergraduate degree in May.

The 6-foot-3, 207-pound receiver caught 94 passes for 1,033 yards last season.

"It seems with these graduate transfers, just looking at the history of it, there seems like there are more skill guys, receivers, running backs that do that type of things," Nick Saban said earlier this month on National Signing Day. "So we'll probably be on the lookout for the next best player we can find, whether it's somebody that didn't sign on signing day or someone who is out there looking for an opportunity."

Dieter had seven catches for 133 yards and a touchdown in the 2015 opener against Tennessee. He also had 10 catches and 96 yards against Big Ten opponent Purdue. But the biggest numbers came late in the season. Dieter pulled down 13 catches against Toledo (103 yards) and 11 at Ball State (81 yards).

As a junior, Dieter's biggest game came in the state of Alabama. He had seven catches for 108 yards against South Alabama in the Camellia Bowl.

Mullaney came to Tuscaloosa by way of Oregon State last summer. His 38 catches ranked fourth on the team with 390 yards and five touchdowns. Mullaney, a slot receiver, became a favored target on third downs.

Coming out of South Bend (Ind.) Washington High School, Dieter had a national record with 437 receiving yards in a single game.

Dieter originally went to SMU where he caught 10 passes for 168 yards in 2012. He transferred to Bowling Green and sat out the 2013 season.

While putting up big numbers last season, Dieter also got some national attention for a few one-handed catches. This one, originally ruled incomplete, was the No. 1 play on SportsCenter's Top 10 the following day.

And another one.
