When UAB opens its new football operations building, one room will be dedicated to past teams and NFL players.
Gerald Everett may not have finished his college career at UAB, but the Los Angeles' Rams tight end who was recently drafted in the NFL Draft's second round first made his mark there. There will certainly be a plaque honoring Everett.
Everett played as a sophomore at UAB in 2014. When the program was disbanded, he transferred to South Alabama and flourished over his final two seasons.
The 6-foot-3, 239-pound Everett caught 90 passes for 1,292 yards and 12 touchdowns in two seasons with the Jaguars.
