Alabama football graduates fifteen players over weekend

Nick Saban has always taken great pride in enforcing that his players attend class, complete their coursework, keep their grades up, and balance being a football player in his program with also being a full-time college student.

Every semester, a yearly tradition has become coach Saban posing with players of his that have earned their degree, and this semester fifteen Crimson Tide football players walked in graduation.

Among them was quarterback Jalen Milroe, who graduates despite being just a junior in school and a redshirt sophomore eligibility wise with a degree in business with a concentration in entrepreneurship.

Milroe, however made some headlines this week when he announced he would be returning to school for his senior year, and presumably as the starting quarterback next season as well.

Among the graduates was also fifth-year kicker Will Reichard, who in the SEC Championship broke the NCAA all-time scoring record and has had one of the most decorated careers in Crimson Tide history.

The full list of graduates for the team was as follows:

James Brockermeyer
Justin Eboigbe
Thomas Fletcher
Kyle Flood Jr.
Kneeland Hibbett
Thaiu Jones-Bell
Jah-Marien Latham
Trezmen Marshall
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Seth McLaughlin
Jalen Milroe
Will Reichard
