Texas A&M DL Albert Regis nominated to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team

Texas A&M defensive lineman Albert Regis was nominated for the Allstate AFCA the Good Works Team

As we roll into SEC Media Day and get closer to the start of the college football season, news starts to pick up again. While most of the national focus is on Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC, conference news, or roster depth chart projections, there are stories of good deeds.

On July 17, Texas A&M defensive lineman Albert Regis was nominated to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. Each player is nominated by current and former head coaches and journalists for their leadership exhibited on and off the football field. Below is an excerpt from the website on what this year’s nominee’s causes that led to them being selected.

“This year’s 178 nominees champion causes including mental health awareness, youth mentorship, hunger relief, domestic abuse prevention, and many more. In addition to being actively involved with a charitable organization or service group, each player must also maintain strong academic standing to be considered for a spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team”

Congratulations to Regis for his nomination and for representing Texas A&M and himself in such a positive light.

Fans react to Texas vs. Alabama being dubbed inaugural Allstate Crossbar Classic

Allstate raising the stakes of the Texas and Alabama showdown

Despite not joining the SEC until the beginning of the 2024 season, the Texas Longhorns will travel to Tuscaloosa on Sept. 9 this year to take on Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide as the second game in a home-and-home series between the two sides. The Crimson Tide outlasted the Longhorns, 20-19, in Austin last year in what was one of the games of the year.

Today, Alabama football announced that its matchup with the Longhorns in Week 2 will be called the Allstate Crossbar Classic with the game obviously sponsored by Allstate. Each year, the Crossbar Classic will move to a new city and a new matchup, but what a cool place to start the tradition. The 2023 matchup will likely be a top-10 matchup with playoff implications.

The announcement caught a lot of fans by surprise, and here were the top reactions to the news.
