Alabama superfan Walt Gary has died at the age of 36, the football program confirmed on Friday.
Gary was known for attending Alabama football practices on Thursdays, where he would visit with players. He would also meet with Nick Saban each week during the season to give him a score prediction ahead of the coach's radio show. Gary started attending practices under coach Gene Stallings, who had a son with Down syndrome.
"Walt Gary was a special part of the Alabama football program and our hearts are broken by the news of his passing," Saban said in a statement.
