RE: 2016 UAB FOOTBALL SPRING ROSTER...
Since no QB is listed so far, is the return of Orth (who was a frosh in 2014) a possibility? He was not listed among the "top 4" at QB for USA for this season.

I guess anything is possible. We'll just have to wait and see what some of these former UAB players decide to do. I have a feeling that we will see a lot more of the former players coming back after the 2015 season.

I thought I read that the Shaq Jones that committed was as JUCO player and not our former Shaq Jones.

RE: 2016 UAB FOOTBALL SPRING ROSTER...
We have a new Shaq Jones (verbal commitment) and the old Shaq Jones, too. The roster that I am building right now is only players that have either enrolled, plan to enroll during the upcoming semester, or have signed with UAB. I'm not putting verbal commitments on this roster. I don't want to count any players that may end up changing their minds.

Thank you and I am so glad you are here. You are a true Blazer and have worked so hard helping to restore the programs.
I'm extremely thankful that I made the decision to attend UAB way back in 1994, after attending the UAB/Butler football game and hearing the Marching Blazers. It actually started way before that... I was a UAB basketball fan since before "UAB Arena" was built, but that day in September 1991 when I tuned in and heard Gary Sanders on 107.7 talking about the "inaugural UAB football game"... that moment was a life changing moment for me. That's why I am here and fighting for this cause. I'm a Blazer and I always will be.
Here's to Gene Bartow and all the true Blazers!

I was driving past the football building this afternoon and thought, "Damn, that's a lot of cars in the lot."
Guess now I know why.

Very cool! Hopefully we will find out additional updates on who the 33 players are. I'm guessing quite a few are walk-ons since we haven't heard of anyone else that's not included on this list.

Drew Champlin said he might have something out later today.

The running back for Butler was leading the country at the time in rushing.
UAB tackled him for a loss his first 2 runs and help him way below his average for the game on our way to victory.

In 1994, I was still on the fence about where I wanted to go to college. The 3 schools that I was most interested in were UAB, Auburn, and Vanderbilt. I sent my ACT scores to all 3 schools and got accepted to all 3 schools, but after visiting UAB, attending my first UAB football game, and hearing the Marching Blazers, I never even scheduled a visit to Auburn or Vanderbilt. I wanted to be at UAB and I wanted to live in Birmingham for the rest of my life. 21 years later and I'm still in Birmingham (metro area) and I have no plans to ever leave.
