Shawn Burgess-Becker has reportedly found a new home.
The former Alabama safety is transferring to Central Florida, according to Matt Zenitz of AL.com. Burgess-Becker announced his intentions to leave the Crimson Tide earlier this month.
Illinois was also in the mix for his services, Zenitz reports.
After playing sparingly as a true freshman last season, Burgess-Becker figured to see minimal playing time again this year, especially with the return of safety Eddie Jackson.
Burgess-Becker will have to sit out the 2016 campaign because of NCAA transfer rules.
