Alabama OT Elijah Pritchett Staying In Tuscaloosa
“Transferring is not in my best interest. I apologize for any and all inconveniences. I’m 100% locked in. Roll Tide!” Pritchett wrote on social media. It took less than 24 hours for the tackle to reverse his decision. Nick Saban keeps the 6-foot-6, 325-pound tackle in the program for the time being. It seems like Saban did not want to lose Pritchett. In the time from the announcement to now, someone talked to the talented player and got him to recommit to the program.
