ATLANTA — Keith Holcombe is no longer a two-sport athlete at Alabama. After playing football and baseball for the Crimson Tide the past three seasons, Holcombe will forgo his senior season of football in order to focus on his career on the diamond this spring.
“Keith Holcombe has done an outstanding job for us,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said Wednesday during SEC Media Days. “He’s been a great contributor not only on the field but a human being, outstanding student. Been a really, really good leader for us. And I would love for him to come back and be a part of our team, but I understand that he wanted to play baseball.
“He’s always wanted to play baseball. He’s had an opportunity to play baseball. We decided to give him the opportunity to go full-time with baseball this year and then he’d make a decision about whether he wanted to continue that year of eligibility of football. … And he has made that decision to play baseball and not be a part of our team.”
