Scott Expected to Transfer, Hill Plans Return

Alabama Crimson Tide defensive back B.J. Scott is expected to transfer.

Scott, a former five-star prospect and member of the 2008 signing class, has simply never reached his full potential at Alabama and has played very little during his time in Tuscaloosa.

The Mobile product was originally a reserve wide receiver during the 2008 season and after being redshirted in 2009…was moved to defensive back in 2010.

Due to lack of playing time and a recent ankle injury which required surgery, Scott is expected to transfer closer to home.

The University of South Alabama, coached by former Tide wide receiver Joey Jones, is high on Scott’s radar.

At this time Scott has not been officially released from his scholarship at Alabama, but the Crimson Tide coaching staff have been informed of his plans.

While B.J. Scott is expected to leave, former Alabama linebacker Alfy Hill appears to be planning his return.

Initially reported in August, Hill was forced to leave Alabama just weeks before the season began after being ruled as an academic non-qualifier by the NCAA.

Upon leaving Tuscaloosa, Hill was expected to enroll at a junior college, meet the necessary academic standing…and return to Alabama.

Hill (in what was considered a shock) enrolled at East Carolina and it seemed that Alabama would never have a shot at reclaiming the talented linebacker.

However, during the month of October, Alfy Hill left East Carolina and his journey has now taken him to Itawamba Community College where he has once again appeared on the Alabama recruiting board.

Hill will begin classes in the spring semester and could potentially graduate in Dec. of 2011.

Itawamba coach Jon Williams has suggested that Alfy Hill wanted to be at Alabama, but the NCAA declared him ineligible…which forced him to leave.
