Actually George Hutchison Denny is responsible for the legacy of a large Jewish student population at Alabama, particularly from Manhattan/New England. In 1932 Alabama, there were four Jewish fraternities, two Jewish sororities and one Italian fraternity.

He saw the importance of having a national football program and marketed the university in New York/New England area newspapers and magazines as a great alternative to schools up north.
It's not uncommon to run into a student at Alabama from New York/New England area and them tell you they are legacies and their family has been going to Alabama for a century.
