Earl Little Jr., a former defensive back for Alabama, revealed on Instagram on Saturday night that he has committed to transfer to
Florida State.
Little joins the ranks of the second Alabama player to select a different university after using the NCAA transfer site this week. Seth
McLaughlin, a center, said earlier on Saturday that he will be attending Ohio State.
Little, a redshirt freshman who signed with Alabama as the No. 84 overall pick in the 2022 class, has played special teams and as a
reserve defensive back for the previous two seasons. He said to 247 Sports during Rose Bowl media day last week that he will be ready
for the spring after rupturing the labrum in his right shoulder on November 4 against LSU. He did not play.
Malachi Moore, who started at STAR for Alabama this season, had Little as a potential replacement. But Little’s 2024 position is less
definite because ESPN reported on Thursday that Moore is slated to return for a fifth season.
Little was born and raised in South Florida. Her father, Earl Little, was a Miami player in the 1990s before going on to play in the NFL.
Zavier Mincey, who committed to Alabama and signed a letter of intent, became the sixth defensive back for Alabama’s 2024 freshmen
class. Last month, the university welcomed former USC cornerback Domani Jackson through the transfer portal.
