The one thing that signifies football season getting closer is set for next week. While we don’t know all of the participants Alabama will send to SEC Media Days in Hoover, Al., we do know that linebacker Reggie Ragland will be in attendance.
Ragland’s visit won’t be like other years as he will participate in a new initiative that the conference is doing called “Beyond The Field: Stories Of The SEC”. Every one knows what these gifted athletes do on the field but this will highlight some of the things that they do off of the field.
“The athletic achievements of the SEC continue to be well-documented, but many of our student-athletes lead interesting lives or have intriguing stories that happen away from the field of play,” said Greg Sankey, the new commissioner of the SEC who will preside over his first conference media event July 13-16 at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham-The Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Alabama.
