Week 9 - News and Notes

Injuries

PREVIOUS: Talley, Gomez
NEW: RB Moe Stewart is out 4 weeks with a hyperextended elbow. He was ineffective anyway. DT Zack Newsome is out 9 weeks with knee surgery and DT Kerry Leatherman is probable 5 weeks with bruised ribs.

Recruting
We had a lot of commitments this week. The top ones are:

S Brenden Springer
5-11, 183
Kinston, AL
Rating: 57++

We needed big help at safety, and we got it. #2 safety in Alabama. Great at interceptions. He'll probably start for us at least 3 years. Both our S recruits this year will help out a lot.

C Dale Peachey
6-3, 256
Sparta, TN (White County)
Rating: 64--

#3 center in Tennessee. Wanted to go far away for college, but we convinced him to come to Birmingham. Great at run blocking. Not so great at pass protection, but we don't pass that much anyway. May be an adequate C to replace senior Vernon Jordan.

OTHER COMMITMENTS:
DE Michael Davila (FL, 57-)
FB Percy Schulz (GA, 56+)
G Everett Lerner (GA, 34+)
DT Dominic Stowe (AL, 31+)
RB Luther Schneider (GA, 19-) - the RB situation in our area is terrible
