Former Alabama defensive back Trey Amos announced Friday that he’ll be transferring within the SEC. According to a post on his social media, Amos is heading one state over to play for Ole Miss.

Amos was a key depth piece to Alabama’s secondary in 2023 after transferring in from Louisiana-Lafayette. He was poised to compete for a starting job at corner for the Crimson Tide in 2024, with both Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold off to the NFL.

He was part of a flurry of UA players who entered the transfer portal after Nick Saban’s retirement. The change at head coach, which resulted in the hiring of Kalen DeBoer in Tuscaloosa, created a 30-day entry window.

The 6-foot-1, 197-pound Amos saw action in all 14 games for Alabama last season. He finished the year with 12 tackles and five pass breakups.

Amos was a three-star recruit leaving high school in Louisiana before spending three seasons at ULL. He had one interception, 59 tackles and 14 breakups throughout his time with the Ragin’ Cajuns.

In Oxford, Amos will be playing for some faces that are familiar to Crimson Tide fans. Former Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin is the head coach for of the Rebels, while former defensive coordinator Pete Golding runs the Ole Miss defense.

So long as they don’t meet in the SEC title game, Alabama and Ole Miss will not play each other in 2024, due to the schedule changing with Texas and Oklahoma joining the league.
