There was 4 players off my HS 55 team that signed with Ears.
One had the 5 longest punt in Bama history at 81 yards.
That was 1959 vs Memphis State and Dad and I were there.
Tommy White was the punter and his sister Carolyn married an assistant coach from Bibb County Pete Steele and presto you have a Coach Kevin Steele. Small world.

We are in for some interesting times in the near future. I am not sure why JosieWales mentioned Ears Whitworth, but it gives me an opportunity to discuss those strange times for Alabama football. The time between Red Drew and Bryant were truly strange at Alabama. The president, Dr. Carmichael, at the time did not care about football. My brother born in 1936 was in school then and he told me he sent a questionnaire out to the students asking if they wanted to deemphasize or drop football. Of course that was the last straw and they finally cleaned house and hired Bryant and a football friendly president Dr. Rose. I started at Alabama in 1958 the same year Bryant started. Alabama has a fascinating football history and the next few years will add to it.
