At a school that has produced two Heisman running backs and countless other future NFL talents over the eons, one tailback who played a pivotal role in Alabama’s early-1990’s ascension is Siran Stacy. When one thinks of the greatest backs in Alabama history, names like Johnny Musso, Bobby Humphrey, Derrick Lassic, Sherman Williams, Shaun Alexander, Mark Ingram, Derrick Henry, Eddie Lacy, and Trent Richardson may come to mind. But often overlooked is a scrappy, hard-working, homegrown kid from southeast Alabama who set his sights on a career at the Capstone and didn’t relent until he was the Tide’s number one tailback under former coaches Bill Curry and Gene Stallings.
