Mazen Osama used to see pyramids from his bedroom window in Cairo, Egypt. Now, he sees the University of Alabama campus.
It wasn’t easy getting him to UA, however.
Osama was No. 1 in the Oracale/ITA Division I Men’s National Newcomer/Freshmen Rankings for 2015. The Crimson Tide fought long and hard to get Osama here. To snag such a recruit was a big deal for Alabama.
