Alabama Football: The anchor of the Crimson Tide secondary

Alabama football senior, Shyheim Carter is not often mentioned in lists of players key to 2019 success. He should be. He is in fact, one of the most valuable players on a defensive team that must improve to challenge for more championships.

Shyheim is from the small town of Kentwood, LA, about 75 miles from New Orleans. He was a star quarterback and defensive back at his small high school. He was known as ‘Nuck-Nuck’ until the unofficial Mayor of nearby Amite, LA, Vincent Sanders suggested it be shortened to Nook.

Alabama football fans know about Sanders.
