Report: Alabama adds walk-on running back

Jon Cooper | 9 years ago

My, how the times have changed.

Alabama was supposed to have an absolutely loaded backfield in 2015; however, things have changed so much so that the Crimson Tide added a walk-on to help with depth purposes.

Demetrice Vaughan is from Blount High School in Alabama, and he signed with Mississippi Delta Community College in February. He’ll walk-on with the Crimson Tide, according to TideSports.com.

The 5-8, 214-pound back is needed because the Crimson Tide lost freshman DeSherrius Flowers, as he was declared academically ineligible for the fall. Altee Tenpenny transferred, Tyren Jones was dismissed and Bo Scarbrough tore his ACL this spring.

This all opened the door for Vaughan to become an Alabama player. I’m sure he’ll make the best of it.
