I know I'm not following the thread with respect to Bama players, but one Tennessee player just has to have the best name: Jim Bob Cooter aka James Robert Cooter. I think he's in coaching with Detroit now.
Which Bama players had the coolest names?

- Start date
So many Bama players with interesting names and nicknames over the years, many of them already named. A few that I've come across that I really liked and haven't seen mentioned above:
Young Boozer (my very favorite)
Jeff Blitz
Cecil Quick
Frank Savage
Elliot Speed
Roy Rumbley - what a great name for an OG!
C.P. Butcher
Some of those are pretty obscure, but were mentioned by oldtimers when I was a kid. Most unusual was Huriesco Austill, I knew a couple of members of that family which is where I heard the name. Some of those from another oldtimer and player himself, Gessner T. McCorvey, a one-time member of the board of trustees way back when.
By the way, Jalen Hurts isn't too shoddy as a football name is it? What a great name that would be for a linebacker....

I remember in the mid '90s (I think) reading about a walk on named Marquis Forge; he had an incredible story. His was probably the coolest name for an Alabama player relative the number of snaps he played. I'd love to find that article again, and to know what happened to him; Google is no help...

Jeez man, spoiler alert! I still haven't caught up on the 1927 silent films yet. :wink:
