As UAB continues to build toward a return to the football field in 2017, the Blazers have added another piece to its personnel puzzle.
According to al.com, Kalin Heath has decided to transfer into the UAB program and continue his collegiate playing career with the Blazers. This past February, the running back opted to transfer out of Kansas State.
While the school has yet to confirm Heath’s addition to the roster, head coach Bill Clark indicated on Twitter that his dormant squad had gotten better a handful of days after putting the finishing touches on spring practice.Wow! The Offense gets more explosive by the day!! Difference maker.#WTD #theReturn

Heath was a three-star member of the Wildcats’ 2015 recruiting class coming out of the Georgia high school ranks in 2015, opting for K-State over, among others, Cincinnati, Indiana, Louisville, Marshall, Memphis, Mississippi State and Washington State. He took a redshirt as a true freshman. When UAB returns in 2017 after two seasons away, Heath will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.
Heath is the second FBS running back transfer Clark has added the last five months, joining Notre Dame’s Greg Bryant this past November.
