Alabama won a recruiting battle against K-State and Nebraska for Ross when he signed with the Crimson Tide. But he held a total of 25 scholarship offers. The Wildcats clearly made an impression on him during the recruiting process, because he quickly chose them when he began exploring his options as a transfer.

One of Alabama football’s transfer portal departures has found his new home. Defensive edge rusher Jayshawn Ross has committed to Kansas State, he announced on social media Tuesday. Ross spent one season with Alabama, and didn’t get much time on the field. He played only in the Crimson Tide’s win over Mercer late in the regular season.
