McLeod would be the fifth quarterback signed by Saban to end his career at Alabama via transfer.

McLeod, a three-star prospect from Marietta, Ga., enrolled early in 2013 and primarily worked as a scout-team quarterback. As Alabama evaluated candidates to replace longtime starter AJ McCarron throughout the spring, McLeod's name was rarely mentioned. His one pass at last month's A-Day game was intercepted.
