Alabama cornerback Nigel Knott announced plans to transfer on Monday.

Knott plans enter the NCAA transfer portal, he tweeted. The corner is no longer listed on the Crimson Tide roster, and now he is officially listed in the portal, according to a source.

I am blessed to have played football for the University of Alabama. I have decided to enter the transfer portal. #???? — Nigel J. Knott (@nigelk09) January 27, 2020

Knott did not play in a game this past season due to medical issues, according to head coach Nick Saban. In late December, Knott tweeted he had been cleared to play again.

“Nigel Knott has redshirted medically for some of the medical issues that he had,” Saban said. “He’s in school here. We want to support him and help him to get an education. He was a very good teammate for a lot of our players. He worked hard, really did a good job in this program, but the medical staff felt that it was not in his best interest to be able to continue to play football.”

The redshirt junior is the only player to not step on the practice field last fall. Knott appeared in 10 games in 2018 as a reserve and collected his first tackle in the Arkansas game in Week 6. The Madison, Miss., native was a 4-star recruit in the 2016 cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite. He was the nation’s No. 8 cornerback and No. 66 overall prospect.

Established in October of 2018, the NCAA’s transfer portal now allows collegiate student-athletes to merely enter their name into an online database and wait for collegiate teams to contact them. It is also worth noting that players can withdraw their name from the portal, too.

Alabama has already lost two scholarship players to transfer this offseason in running back Jerome Ford (Cincinnati) and offensive tackle Scott Lashley (Mississippi State).

The Tide currently has 89 players either on scholarship or that have signed letters of intent, which is four players over the NCAA limit and does not include commitments.
