Three football players among Alabama Athletics' 21 summer graduates
A total of 21 Crimson Tide student-athletes are slated to receive degrees during The University of Alabama’s summer commencement this weekend.
Six All-Americans are set to walk across the stage on Saturday as the Parker Brailsford (football), Kade Snell (baseball), Ruben Banks (men’s track and field), Hilary Cheruiyot (men’s track and field, cross country), RJ Decker (men’s track and field) and Victor Kiprop (men’s track and field, cross country) highlight the Crimson Tide graduates.
Snell will join Aeden Finateri, Bryce Fowler, Aidan Moza, Brennen Norton and Garrett Staton this weekend as six members of the Crimson Tide’s baseball team collect their diploma after helping Alabama secure its 28th all-time NCAA Tournament berth last season. Additionally, softball’s Brooke Ellestad helped the team advance to its 19th all-time Super Regional, while Enzo Aguiard aided the men’s tennis team in its 22nd overall NCAA Tournament appearance.
Paced by a quartet of All-Americans, Banks, Cheruiyot, Decker, Joel Gardner and Kiprop will walk across the stage from the men’s track and field and cross country program as Cami Crouch represents the women’s side.
