who is the kid out of tuscaloosa that became sort of a recruiting running joke b/c he was so incredibly talented, but he would never qualify? The joke used to be "so and so is getting in this year".

Been driving me crazy that I can't recall his name. Thanks in advance.

No. kid was from tuscaloosa (i think). There haven't been many Bama "locks" that have had trouble qualifying over the years. This guy was one over and over. He's become sort of mythical in nature and I've gone completely blank on him.

Here's a write up from the Jets, 2013, about him.

2013 Projection: One of the biggest problems for Ryan coming out of school was his lack of experience having missed out on the opportunity to play at a school like Alabama and along the way his speed has never been the question.

Why couldn't he get qualified? All he really needed was one solid year at Bama.

Yea, I met him a couple of times. Really nice guy. This is a perfect example of a parent failing a child. Not the system, the parent. I can never understand how a person won't invest the time into their children to ensure the educational success. Sacrifice people.

Dang, I've never heard of him. We're his grades so bad that nobody even bothered to talk about him?

At least he got a few years in the CFL. Hate it for him.
