Only interesting because of his Alabama connection initially. Guess he thinks he should be starting.
Wonder where he lands and how much interest there is. Remember him entertained Indiana.

Gunner Kielās career at Notre Dame may end before it ever really started.
Irish Sports Daily has learned that the Notre Dame freshman intends to transfer. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder from Columbus, Ind., enrolled in classes at South Bend a year ago after graduating early from Columbus East High School.
Kiel spent the 2012 season as the Irishās scout team quarterback, impressing many with his arm strength and accuracy. The nephew of former Irish quarterback Blair Kiel was subsequently redshirted and still has four years of eligibility remaining.
He was expected to challenge starter Everett Golson for playing time this spring, but it was certainly going to be tough to wrestle the position away from a signal-caller who led Notre Dame to a 12-0 regular-season record and a trip to Januaryās BCS National Championship Game.
Kiel was ranked as the nationās top prep school quarterback in the Class of 2012. Prior to enrolling early at Notre Dame, Kiel committed to Indiana before decommitting and offering a pledge to LSU. Just days before he was scheduled to enroll in classes at Baton Rouge, he decided to head north to South Bend instead.
His motives for transferring or his future plans arenāt immediately clear. One source claims Notre Dame would leave the door open for Kiel possibly changing his mind and sticking out in South Bend. The Irish would love to have him back, but they understand things donāt always work out.
Kiel's absence would leave former starter Tommy Rees along with classmate Andrew Hendrix and freshman Malik Zaire, who enrolled in January, to push Golson.
Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly and the Notre Dame communications office werenāt immediately available for comment.
