In the time we are in today, understanding and support are the two biggest things one can provide to someone else.
When it comes to Alabama football, there was one player that gave his all to his teammates, coaches and fans every Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in the fall. He arrived at the University of Alabama in 2003 during a time where the Crimson Tide’s program was not popular. However, popularity did not matter to him. As a native of Heflin, Ala., Tyrone Prothro cared about defending home and playing for the best fans in college football.
Despite a three-star rating, his blend of speed, hands, route-running skills, explosive plays and awareness on special teams made each home game special.
