Terrance Howard, a former Nick Saban defensive back at Alabama, is leaving the Crimson Tide to play in the HBCU ranks. The excellent defensive stalworth will join the North Carolina Central Eagles, according to Steven J. Gaither of HBCU Gameday. Howard committed to Alabama in 2023 but did not play during Nick Saban’s final season as head coach.
Howard revealed his move a few weeks ago. He wrote a letter on social media, saying, “First and foremost, I want to thank God for guiding me through life’s path and for allowing me to participate in my favorite sport.
Next, I would like to thank the coaches and staff for pushing me to not only be better but also for helping me become a better man as I went. It’s truly been a blessing to learn from you all.
I would also like to thank all my teammates/brothers; the special bonds built over these short times were truly amazing.
Last but not least, thank you, Bama Nation, for the crazy moments you always had to offer. After careful consideration, I will be entering the transfer portal with four years of eligibility.”
