“Best in the U.S.” That’s quite an assertion. And it’s one The University of Alabama’s Cody Locke and DeMeco Ryans can rightly claim.

A three-time USA Today Academic All-American, Locke’s classroom performances have achieved unprecedented recognition. Locke has excelled in the laboratory, researching the molecular basis for epilepsy. Locke has presented research results at the world’s largest annual conference in the cellular biology field.

A consensus All-American linebacker, Ryans is one of the most decorated football players in the Crimson Tide’s rich history.

Ryans also won the Lott Trophy, symbolic of the nation’s top defensive player and based on personal character as well as athletic performance.  READ MORE
