Grambling has acquired former Alabama placekicker Reed Harradine through the transfer portal, according to a post on his social media sites. Harradine joined the transfer portal last month.
He posted a letter to his social media announcing his decision to transfer. The letter read:
“It has been a blessing and an honor to have been part of the University of Alabama football program for the past season. I have been able to meet many great people and form relationships that will last a lifetime. I want to thank my family for always supporting me and helping me to be the best version of myself. I want to thank Coach Saban, Hutzler, DeBoer, and Nunèz for giving me an opportunity to play for the University of Alabama.
With that being said, and after much consideration and conversation with my family, agency, and God, I will be entering the transfer portal with 4 years of eligibility. Thank you to everyone that has gotten me to where I am today.”
Harradine did not play for the Crimson Tide this season. He is currently facing a lawsuit for a hit-and-run incident last October in Tuscaloosa, where he collided with Timothy Moore’s vehicle. The crash occurred when Harradine failed to yield to Moore’s right of way while turning left. Moore had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance due to the impact on his vehicle. The lawsuit claims that Harradine fled the collision scene and declined to communicate with University of Alabama police officers on the night of the incident. However, he confessed to being the driver of the vehicle the night of the crash.
