No doubt, life is different these days for Levi Wallace. The Alabama star player nobody saw coming isn't oblivious to the elevated status he's gained either.

Once a walk-on recruited by nobody, Wallace is now a starting cornerback with three interceptions, a touchdown and All-American buzz.

Add it up and he's not so anonymous anymore. A few thousand new Instagram followers have also joined the movement, Wallace proudly reports.

Fellow Alabama students are also recognizing him more on campus "especially if I'm with Minkah," he said referring to star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. It's an interesting dynamic for the once-unheralded high school player from Tucson.
