On Wednesday, Alabama DB Earl Little Jr‘s father sent a definitive message to anyone wondering whether the Crimson Tide youngster might transfer. Earl Little Sr. tweeted that his son is “HAPPY” and “getting better everyday.”

The former top-100 recruit received mention in a now-deleted story from 247Sports naming potential transfers due to their playing situations in the 2022 season.

Little didn’t play during the regular season for the Tide but, according to his father, he isn’t going anywhere. He made that especially clear by adding music to the tweet with the lyrics, “Ain’t goin’ nowhere.”

“Some of y’all can stop with the rumors,” Little Sr. tweeted. “Straight A student athlete, straight BALLIN & getting better everyday. He’s HAPPY!!!!! 2023 gonna be a problem! #FOE #RTR”

BamaInsider reporter Clint Lamb named Little one of seven young Crimson Tide players that the team can’t afford to lose. Not only does the Florida native have talent, but also, Alabama is about to have a real need for breakout defensive backs.

Khyree Jackson has entered the transfer portal and Eli Ricks could be leaving as he is now eligible for the 2023 NFL Draft. Brian Branch is also on draft watch.

Earl Little Jr.’s father played at the University of Miami before going on to the NFL. The young defensive back is just one year into his college career. He was a standout at American Heritage in Fort Lauderdale.

Little was the No. 85 recruit in the nation in the 2022 class and the No. 12 cornerback, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Roughly 735 FBS players put their names on the transfer market on Monday and Tuesday after the transfer window opened. More continued to trickle in on Wednesday. The Tide has 13 players in the NCAA transfer portal so far this cycle.
