Luke's father, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, has a close relationship with Oregon State coach Mike Riley. The Beavers recruited Luke out of high school and offered him a scholarship, but he ultimately chose to walk on at Alabama instead.
Alabama's change at offensive coordinator, bringing in former USC coach Lane Kiffin after the departure of Doug Nussmeier, coupled with four-star quarterback David Cornwell enrolling early, could have played a role in Del Rio's decision to transfer.
Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY SportsLuke Del Rio may wind up at Oregon State, as his father -- Jack Del Rio -- is friends with Beavers coach Mike Riley.
The Tide must now figure out who will replace McCarron under center.
Blake Sims took the majority of snaps as McCarron's backup this season, but he's viewed primarily as a run-first quarterback with a so-so arm. He threw three interceptions during Alabama's final spring scrimmage and went 18-of-29 for 167 yards and two touchdowns during the season.
Alec Morris, a strong-armed redshirt freshman from Texas, was third on the depth chart. The former three-star prospect took some snaps but didn't attempt a pass during a game this season.
Cooper Bateman, the third-ranked pocket passer in the 2013 class, and Parker McLeod, a three-star prospect from Georgia, both redshirted their first seasons on campus. They'll be joined by Cornwell in the quarterback competition this spring.
"That'll be a really good competition this spring -- really, really excited about our young players on the roster at that position," Nussmeier told reporters prior to the Sugar Bowl and his leaving for Michigan. "With any young quarterback there's a steep learning curve, and for those guys it's about getting snaps every day and continuing to progress, and I like the development that we've seen in those young players. They need to continue to grow. We need to have a really, really good offseason."

From what I've read across the innerwebs the Bammers are banking on the backup QB from FSU transferring in and picking up where AJ left off. He's apparently from Mobile originally. I'm not sure why he wouldn't have to sit a year, but when did NCAA rules ever stop them?

Plus there is just something funny about an article starting out with "Luke's father".

The kid's already graduated so all he has to do is pick a grad degree in something that Bama offers but FSU doesn't and claim he wants his Masters in that subject. It's the same way that Russell Wilson was able to leave NC State for Wisconsin.

That dude said today that any idea he'd transfer to UA was nothing but a rumor.

The process continues (SIAP):
uat DB Coach Greg Brown is expected to be fired soon. He was at uat all of one season.
