In June, Alvin Kamara verbally committed to continue his collegiate career at Tennessee. Six months later, the running back followed through on that verbal pledge.
Wednesday, UT confirmed that Kamara has signed with the Vols. Today is the first day junior college players can sign with FBS programs; Kamara spent the 2014 season at the JUCO level.
It was confirmed in January of this year that Kamara would be transferring from Alabama after just one season. During that one year in Tuscaloosa, Kamara racked up more suspensions (two) than carries (zero). In February, Kamara was arrested on multiple misdemeanor traffic offenses.
Coming out of Norcross, Ga., as a four-star recruit, Kamara was rated as the No. 2 all-purpose back in the country in the Class of 2013. He’s rated as a four-star prospect this go-around too.
Prior to settling on Tennessee, Kamara had also shown interest in Clemson and Georgia.
