The Alabama Crimson Tide appear to have added an extra receiver to compete for the lost production left by Amari Cooper's early entrance to the NFL, as Oregon State graduate transfer Richard Mullaney tweeted out this news Tuesday.

Proud to announce that I just committed to the University of Alabama #RollTide

Mullaney will be eligible to play immediately for the Tide and will have only one season left of eligibility at the collegiate level.

According to FOX Sports' Bruce Feldman, Mullaney's desire to play for Lane Kiffin at Alabama may have proved too good of an opportunity to pass up for the former Oregon State receiver.

Richard Mullaney, a SoCal native, grew up watching USC offense and now gets a shot to play in the system for Lane Kiffin at #Bama.
