Former Tide safety returns to program as graduate assistant

For his next run of multiple national championships, Nick Saban is bringing in people that thoroughly understand and have been around Alabama football.

While the rumors of Bo Davis and Lance Thompson returning to the program continue to generate interest on social media, a former player has already decided to come home.

Per a report from Matt Zenitz of AL.com, Vinnie Sunseri is expected to serve as a defensive graduate assistant on Saban’s staff. The 25-year-old played under Saban for the Crimson Tide from 2011-13, following his recruitment as a three-star from Northridge High School.
