Central Valley grad Robert Foster doesn't regret choosing Alabama over Pitt

INDIANAPOLIS – Robert Foster was a five-star recruit coming out of Central Valley High School in Center Township in 2013, a 6-foot-2, 196-pound wide receiver who could run and catch.

He narrowed his final two college choices to hometown Pitt and national power Alabama before finally choosing the Crimson Tide, where he all but disappeared among the many talented players recruited by Nick Saban.

Foster caught only 35 passes for 379 yards in four seasons at Alabama, including just 14 for 174 yards last season during the Tide’s march to another national title. But he said at the NFL combine he does not regret his decision.
