Former Alabama and NFL defensive lineman Jeremy Nunley died Monday night of an apparent heart attack, AL.com has confirmed. He was 46.
Nunley was a member of the Crimson Tide's 1992 national championship team, a key performer on a defensive line that also featured All-Americans John Copeland and Eric Curry. In a 2017 interview with AL.com as part of an oral history project on the 1992 team, Nunley said he still cherishes memories of that title season.
"I just couldn't believe it," Nunley said. "I tried to take it all in. It's one of those things, for the rest of your life, nobody can ever take it away from you.
