It seems Christian Bell has decided that he has spent enough time at Alabama, as the linebacker announced Sunday that he will be transferring from the university.

Bell thanked the University of Alabama, his coaches, and his teammates in a statement posted to his personal Twitter account, and also thanked his family and friends for support throughout his decision-making process.

Bell greyshirted for the Crimson Tide last season, meaning that he still attended classes during the fall, but did not receive athletic scholarship until funds became available during January of 2016.

The 6-foot-4, 246-pounder was ranked 225th on the ESPN 300 for the 2015 class as a defensive end before being converted to linebacker after joining Alabama. He had also received offers from Auburn, LSU, South Carolina, and Texas A&M.
