TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA - Alabama reserve tailback Nic Luke has rejoined the team after considering a transfer. <br>
<br>
The redshirt freshman had contemplated transferring to Division II Tuskegee but Alabama would not grant him a release from his scholarship. <br>
<br>
``It was something they had to do,'' said Luke, whose older brother, Triandos, is a Crimson Tide receiver. ``It may have been God's way of showing that I needed to be here. I prayed a lot about this decision and God told me to come back.'' <br>
<br>
Luke practiced with the team on Thursday. <br>
<br>
Former Tide offensive lineman Grant Dickey was also not given his release, but chose to play at Tyler (Texas) Community College this season. <br>
<br>
Luke said he was ``not disappointed'' by the administration's decision.
