Is this a “should we” post?

2016 and a reserve, a five star?

5* because Bama looked at him.

Could he bring their playbook with him?

Needs to be on the recruiting board. Hard pass for me, though. Bug Strong, Who Mike Jones, Baskerville, and Clarke with Sampah, White, and Webb is just fine without a Bama castoff. If we want to go after a LB now, To'To or Gaoteote is the route. I'd rather save the final slot for after spring or, ideally, next year.

Call it unpopular and downvote away; but these guys need to know if they choose to sit behind other 5* at Bama and it doesn’t work out.... don’t come looking here for playing time. We got plenty of guys who chose LSU.

if Bama players enter the transfer portal do they get to keep their Chargers?

You hate to see it.

Davis was basically a nobody at Bama, 7 tackles in 5 seasons

He was a fifth year senior. High character kid and a legacy. His dad is Wayne Davis. Starter at LB in the late 80s. And played for the Cardinals and 49ers.
Most people never understood how it didn’t work out for Ben. He looked the part. And clearly put in the work to last 5 years. Just kept getting passed by younger players.
I hope he finds a landing spot for his 6th season.

Ben Davis was the 10th overall recruit in the nation in 2016 via the 247 compostie... The #1 inside linebacker.
Devin White was the 151st ranked recruit overall in the nation in 2016. (He was also listed as a RB not a LB). I remember thinking it was absolutely insane that Bama got Ben Davis and Mack Wilson in the same class.
Fast forward a few years and Devin White gets taken top 5 overall in the draft and wins a Lombardi trophy. Ben is transferring to get some play out of his last year of gifted eligibility.
Recruiting rankings are fallible and we should remember that more often.

I hope LSU gives him a hard look because he's a stud. Maybe Alabama just wasn't a good fit for him, but he's worth giving a look. We need stud LBs and he could help tremendously!

Never heard of him.

Interesting that 3 out of bamas 5 transfer portal players are from St. Tammany/Tangy.

Is he an edge guy?
Isn't he 24?

I saw at the bottom of the article that Sopsher transferred to USC, I hadn't heard that.
