Coveted linebacker Henry To'o To'o announces transfer to Alabama football from Tennessee
Linebacker Henry To’o To’o, considered one of the top remaining football prospects in the NCAA transfer portal for the 2021 season, announced Saturday that he will transfer to Alabama.
To’o To’o chose Alabama over Ohio State in the transfer process. Earlier this week, wide receiver Jameson Williams announced that he would transfer from Ohio State to Alabama.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound To’o To’o was a two-year starting inside linebacker at Tennessee. Because the 2020 season did not count against an athlete’s eligibility, To’o To’o will remain a sophomore next season.
To’o To’o made the announcement via his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

He made 148 tackles during his Volunteers career, including a team-high 76 in 2020.
To’o To’o signed with Tennessee in February 2019 as a four-star recruit out of De La Salle High School in California, picking over Alabama and Washington.
Tennessee will visit Alabama on Oct. 23.
The SEC is expected to announce a decision on modifying its intraconference transfer rules later this month.
