Alabama football is about to usher in a new era of strength and conditioning, as the program is expected to have the tandem of David Ballou and Dr. Matt Rhea join the staff.
Multiple outlets have sourced that Nick Saban’s search for Scott Cochran’s replacement kept coming back to Ballou of Indiana. The five-time national champion for the Crimson Tide wanted a more cutting-edge, scientific approach to things, and Ballou fit the requirement for him.
He has an incredible resume, which starts from his playing days with the Hoosiers as a fullback from 1997 to 1999.
Afterwards, Ballou spent 13 years at Avon High School (2002-14) as its head strength and conditioning coach.
