Redshirt freshman Blake Barnett transferred from Alabama on Thursday, a move that has ruffled plenty of feathers, including his former head coach, Nick Saban. One person who does understand his decision is former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.

The former Florida quarterback said he supported Barnett’s decision to transfer on The Paul Finebaum Show Friday afternoon.

Barnett started Alabama’s season opener against USC, but it was freshman Jalen Hurts who made the big impression in the Crimson Tide’s win and has been the starter ever since. Tebow said that it was time to support the student-athlete, who was likely to never play unless Hurts suffered an injury at some point.

Alabama will play Kentucky on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. ET, and it will be televised on ESPN.
