Alabama is a place steeped in traditions with the slogan "Where Legends Are Made." One of the ways players cement their legend status is to literally cementing their hand and footprints into the concrete outside Denny Chimes on the campus of the University of Alabama during A-Day weekend.

It was Parker Brailsford, Tim Keenan III, Deontae Lawson and Ty Simpson's turn on Saturday as the Crimson Tide's 2025 team captains. It was actually Lawson's second time to do the honor as he was also a captain in 2024.

All four players were crucial in the transition period between Nick Saban and Kalen DeBoer but are now heading off to the NFL with hopes to hear their names called some time during the 2026 NFL Draft.
