"This project is a true testament of the limitless possibilities when our volunteers and Nick’s Kids members commit to make a difference in the lives of others," said Ms. Terry Saban, co-founder and CEO of Nick’s Kids Foundation. The groundbreaking on the house will begin immediately.
The new homeowners will be the Anthony Taylor Family. Anthony Taylorworks all night as a bus driver at the University, has a newspaper route, and is studying at Stillman College to become a minister. His family includes wife Angel, and children Zion (age 12) and Zaria (age 11). Through tears of joy,Anthony Taylor said, "I know if you stay true God, his blessings will continue to come. Thank you to Coach Saban, Ms. Terry, their family, Nick's Kids, and to Habitat for Humanity. Roll Tide!"

On the field behind Saban were two of the reasons Alabama should be loaded again in 2016. Linebacker Reggie Ragland and defensive end Jarran Reedprobably played their way into more money by returning to Tuscaloosa for the '15 campaign. That almost certainly had an influence on defensive end Jonathan Allen, safety Eddie Jackson, linebackers Tim Williams and Ryan Andersonand tight end O.J. Howard. All five could have left—and most, if not all, would have made excellent money—but after watching Ragland come back and potentially earn several million more by turning himself into a likely first-round pick, they stayed. So, now I need to correct the column I wrote the day after Alabama's victory. It seemed logical that most of the Crimson Tide's draft-eligible players would declare for the NFL, and that seemed to leave the team with an experience and leadership vacuum. Because of the way Saban has recruited, it could be possible to overcome that, but that would be far from a sure thing. Now? As long as offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin can identify a third effective starting quarterback in three years and build a scheme that suits him, the Tide could be every bit as good in '16 as they were last season.

Agreed, and there is a decent chance that the Tide could actually be better with a dual threat QB and more experience in the secondary.

"Playing in very meaningful games later in the year on a national stage, just have coaches have those extra game films to study definitely I feel like gives us an edge," Drake said.
"A lot of them want to play at the next level, so we try to have the program, the coaches to get them to develop to be all they can be as football players, which obviously gives them the best chance to have a chance at the next level," Saban added.
