Yep, that's him. Was it Saban's first year? I remember being shocked when it happened, and wondered why the staff didn't fight to keep him. It was like they just let him walk out the door, didn't even make him sit out a year, gave him a full transfer.

After that, I realized Saban seemed to have known kid was a bust, and let him walk. I now always figure when they let a kid walk without much of a fight, they must know something we don't.
