As finals wind down, graduation day is Saturday at the University of Alabama.
A group of 13 current Crimson Tide football players and five former team members will receive diplomas following the fall semester.
The big names in the group are two ex-players who returned for their degrees.
Rolando McClain, the No. 8 pick in the 2010 draft, left school a year early to pursue the NFL. He was suspended indefinitely last December after a failed drug test having last played in 2015 with the Dallas Cowboys.
Glen Coffee will also get his diploma after leaving Alabama in 2008 for the NFL.
