The first Alabama player to enter the transfer portal when the window opened up on Monday was wide receiver Thaiu Jones-Bell. Jones-Bell has not been with the football program since August.
The Florida native joined the Crimson Tide as a part of the 2020 recruiting class. He came to Tuscaloosa by way of Miami Carol City High School. Jones-Bell was regarded as a four-star coming out of high school.
In three seasons with the program, Jones-Bell hauled in four receptions for 19 yards. He was primarily used as a reserve wide receiver at Alabama.
The expectation is that Jones-Bell will transfer closer to home to continue his college career. It will be interesting to see where the former top-150 recruit lands at.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the latest regarding the Alabama football program.
Former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley slipped into a grin as Vivek Ramaswamy was booed by the audience at the Republicans’ fourth primary debate for calling her ‘corrupt’ – and holding up a notepad spelling it out.
Ramaswamy, as he had at previous debates, took several particularly nasty swipes at Haley – including the charge that she was deploying ‘identity politics’ for playing up the fact that she’s a woman during her 2024 run.
The 38-year-old tech entrepreneur claimed that Haley’s launch video ‘sounded like a woke Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light ad talking about how she would kick in heels.’
‘At the first debate, she said only a woman could get this job done,’ Ramaswamy said. ‘After the third debate when I criticized Ronna McDaniel for five failed years of leadership of this party, and criticized Nikki for her corrupt foreign dealings as a military contractor, she said that I had a ‘woman problem.”
‘Maybe I don’t have a woman problem, you have a corruption problem,’ he charged.
