Alabama Athletics
Whereas this 12 months was a down 12 months (by Alabama requirements), subsequent 12 months stands to be huge with the Crimson Tide doubtlessly having the highest two general picks in Bryce Younger and Will Anderson Jr.
Scroll to Proceed
This 12 months’s draft was uncommon in a number of methods with one being the shortage of high quality quarterbacks accessible and brought. The primary quarterback didn’t come off the board till Kenny Pickett at No. 20 to the Steelers. One other quarterback wasn’t chosen till Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder was picked within the third spherical by the Atlanta Falcons at No. 74 general. Many groups shall be trying so as to add a franchise quarterback in subsequent 12 months’s draft class, and Younger might match the mould.
As a real sophomore, Anderson put up ridiculous numbers with 17.5 sacks and 31 tackles for loss, higher numbers than lots of the high draft picks in 2022. Anderson has the dimensions, expertise, talent, work ethic, intelligence and athleticism to be a high general choice come April 2023. Add in guys like Jordan Battle and Henry To’oTo’o, and the Crimson Tide could possibly be setting extra draft data subsequent 12 months.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA)— From the time he was 10 years old, Al Eford knew what he wanted to do.
“Music has been a passion of mine all my life,” he explained. “I was basically raised on the radio.”
He’s been a disk jockey for about 40 years. During the pandemic, he decided to take his career to the next level and start his own radio network.
“I enjoy talking to the people. I just said one day, God knows, I’m gonna be on the air. And now I am heard worldwide.”
There is something most of his listeners on the Awesome Al Radio network probably don’t know. While the sounds are important, it’s sight that makes this show unique.
“I was born with glaucoma. The older I got, the more sight I lost. I went totally blind by 12 or 13 years old.”
He never let lack of sight affect his vision.
“I have speech synthesizers on my computer. When I put my headphones on, the synthesizer comes through the headphones to tell me what song I’m going to play.”
Song requests? No problem. He has a special printer that converts an email request into braille.
“Mr. Peoples in Laurel, MS, wants to hear the Supremes with “One Day We’ll Be Together,” he explained. Eford plays a little bit of everything. “Classic R&B, Today’s R&B, Neo Soul, Smooth Jazz, Country.”
It’s how he plays it that makes Awesome Al Radio special. Al hopes to keep growing his listeners and getting more sponsors, but nothing will slow this guy down. He’s doing what he loves every day.
