Escambia Grad On Sports Illustrated Cover

September 8, 2010

An Escambia County School graduate is featured on the cover this week’s Sports Illustrated — and Crimson Tide fans are not going to want to miss it.

Sophomore Alabama running back Trent Richardson appears on the cover, leaping over a defender from San Jose State during the Tide’s season-opening 48-3 win. He is a graduate of Escambia High School.

Saturday was Richardson’s first starting game, with 146 yards and two touchdowns.

The “College Football Opening Statements. Breakout Players and Programs in Week 1″ cover is the fifth cover for the Crimson Tide in a year — more than any other pro or college team. It marked the ninth SI cover since Nick Saban took over in January 2007.
