The lure of the Crimson Tide program was strong enough for the 5-foot-11, 190-pounder to forgo a full football scholarship to Jacksonville State. Pell's likely home will be with the safeties and on special teams in Tuscaloosa. Does that last name seem familiar? Charley Pell, his grandfather, was the head coach at the University of Florida from 1979-1984. ... :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: Title: Re: "Mountain Brook's Buddy Pell bypasses full football scholarship to Jacksonville State to walk-on Post by: 2Stater on April 09, 2014, 07:25:18 PM Great stuff and kudos to him.

Yep. This team needs lots of that. Bet that guy will work his butt off and and set a great example for the rest of the team. Title: Re: "Mountain Brook's Buddy Pell bypasses full football scholarship to Jacksonville State to walk-on Post by: Leewillie on April 11, 2014, 07:38:31 PM What a poorly written article. No mention was made that Buddy's grandfather played football for coach Bryant from 1961-1963 and was an all SEC guard and defensive tackle in the "play both ways" era and a member of a National Championship team. When I hear Charlie Pell's name, I think of his success as a player at Bama, not that he coached at Florida. Besides all that Charlie was a classmate of mine.
Having said all that, I'm happy to have this young Pell at the University of Alabama. |
