Greg Gabriel attacking Blake Barnett for transferring:
Former Bears director of college scouting, Greg Gabriel, indicated that Alabama redshirt freshman QB Blake Barnett's decision to transfer could draw questions from NFL teams.
"If [Barnett] becomes a prospect, then it becomes a red flag that needs to be answered," Gabriel said. "To me it's a red flag on his football character and his personal character. They are two separate things." The 6-foot-5, 211-pound former five-star decided to transfer out this week. He initially started the opener against USC before giving way to an infinitely more effective Jalen Hurts. While Gabriel was brutal in his assessment of the transfer, it was the only real logical move. Barnett isn't going to be viewed as a pro prospect at all if he can't secure a starting job.
