13 Crimson Tide football players set to graduate this weekend

Alabama set to honor 13 graduates this weekend

In Tuscaloosa, Alabama only a few things are bigger than football. One of those things is earning a degree.

In modern-day college football, we have seen players leave early for the NFL draft time and time again, only for it not to pan out. As Nick Saban always says, football won’t last forever but a degree will. Saban has always stressed the importance of a degree, whether you finish it while in college or come back to get it at a later point in life he has always made this an emphasis point to his players.

This weekend, 13 Alabama Crimson Tide football players are set to graduate with their degrees, including Bryce Young and Will Anderson Jr.. who both will leave UA with above 3.0 GPAs. What’s even more remarkable about these two is that this is only their third year in Tuscaloosa.

These young men are mostly known for the things they do on the field, but it is always so cool to see them accomplish things in their personal lives as well. For whatever the future hold for these 13 men, all of Roll Tide nation will be cheering them on!
