About

I love college football, yet hate conference expansion. Recruiting junkie. Was once called "buddy" by Bobby Bowden and Nick Saban.

I'm a senior broadcast journalism major at Troy University. Writing and talking about sports, especially football, is my passion. I host my own sports talk radio show, "The Sports Guru Radio Show," in Alabama. Also, I have interned at Sirius/XM's NFL Radio in NYC and Alabama TV stations WSFA in Montgomery and WTVY in Dothan.

Since I joined B/R in August of 2011, I've covered FSU and Alabama on a beat basis, as well as contributing to college football on the national landscape and recruiting. I've also contributed to the video team.

    Why do you write about Alabama football? Simple question, Id love to hear the answer

    Hey man, I have a couple of questions.

    I was wondering if B/R assigns you all a topic to write an article on, or if writers could choose their own topics to write an article on.

    The reason I'm asking is that I have an idea for an article. I think it would be a great article that would get lots of feedback, and I think you would be a great fit for the person to write it
    .
    My idea is an article about the possiblity of the NFL Rookie Offensive Player of the Year and the NFL Rookie Defensive Player of the Year going to two former Alabama players, in Trent Richardson and Courtney Upshaw. It may seem far fetched but it is a possibility.

    I'd love to hear what you think.

    Thanks in advance!
