Hundley will be eligible to play right away, and he has one year of eligibility remaining.
Former UAB linebacker Joseph Roberts, who played at Hewitt-Trussville, has transferred to Jacksonville State. Former UAB running back D.J. Vinson, who played at Clay-Chalkville, will play his final season at South Alabama.
There were three players on the UAB roster from The Trussville Tribune coverage area in addition to Hundley, Roberts and Vinson. Redshirt freshman safety T.J. McCollum, sophomore running back Marcus Reaves and redshirt freshman linebacker Brandon Fuller all played at Clay-Chalkville High School.
