Nervousness and anxiety set in as Rudy Griffin sits in a car that is bound for the University of Alabama. He doesn’t hold a football scholarship offer from the Crimson Tide, he was not invited by a football coach and has no plans to take a tour of campus. He is coming to ask one question.
Can I play football?
Griffin accompanied by his dad and his sister walks up to a secretary and asks her can he speak to someone about playing football here. She instructed him to wait and Alabama’s then director of football operations, Randy Ross, comes up and introduces himself.
