Woodberry Forest? Wow. Unless he's on scholarship there, whoever's paying for his school will get an effective pay raise, even if they have to cough up out-of-state when he hits Tuscaloosa.

Assuming his parents still live in MB, they get a huge raise. Woodberry is $52K a year for room, board and tuition. Add another $5K - $15K spending money and summers abroad, and you have a quarter-million-dollar high school education, easy.

About twice as much as a four-year in-state experience, with all the trimmings, in Tuscaloosa. You can do it for a lot less, and a lot of people do.

Yea, it sounds like college will be cheaper for them. I don't know where they live, I just read he used to live in MB and grew up a Tide fan.

Interesting he went from Alabama to Woodberry, but someone could apparently afford it. Wonder if it was a legacy situation. Received a great high school education in a beautiful setting. If you look at its football roster they draw players worldwide. Wonderful school but boys only. The scenery will be better in Tuscaloosa!

It's always nice to see Alabama land preferred walk-ons. They help a ton in practice, they help with depth, and we've seen some of them play larger roles.

Since Saban arrived and had a couple of recruiting classes under his belt, I can only think of one non-specialist walk-on with a large role - Will Lowery. Am I forgetting someone?
