Last week made a lot of people feel old but excited at the same time.
Could we see the first-ever father/son tandem at the University of Alabama in the Nick Saban era?
It is possible as Dre Kirkpatrick returned to the Crimson Tide’s football program. His son, Dre Kirkpatrick Jr., is a 2024 athlete from Gadsden (Ala.) City High School. The same institution produced his father to become a five-star cornerback in the 2009 recruiting cycle.
Kirkpatrick played under Saban from 2009 to 2011, winning two BCS National Championships and a Southeastern Conference title in 2009.
