In recent weeks we have reminisced about former Bama stars Sylvester Croom, Chris Samuels, John Hannah, and Barrett Jones. It would be criminal to speak of Crimson Tide offensive line legends and not bring up #57 Dwight Stephenson. Like many of the above mentioned men, Stephenson was a great player and is a great person.
Stephenson came to Tuscaloosa from Hampton, Virginia. A master of leverage, speed and power, he was the indispensable anchor of the Tide wishbone attack that won the 1978 and 1979 National Championships.
