Star Jackson Returns to Practice

TUSCALOOSA, AL - Spring is in the air and the 2009 National Champions are back on the field for spring practice. The Crimson Tide started their regimine of spring practice on March 12th and will conclude with the annual A-Day game, April 17th. Reserve quarterback Star Jackson (2) missed the first three practices due to a suspension handed down by Coach Nick Saban. The suspension is due to poor academic performance from the once highly touted high school recruit. This seems to shock many people, a guy that can't learn the offense has a hard time understanding college classes. He came to the University and was already a father, its not like the is Vanderbilt University. This is one of the dumbest players on the football team, who is surprised that he failed some classes? Not me. The news media rejoiced on Wednesday when Star Jackson was cleared to return to practice. He is the fourth string quarterback, who cares. He lost his back-up job to a guy holding a redshirt. He was third string for the national championship, had Alabama starter Greg McElroy been unable to participate in the Rose Bowl, AJ McCarron (10) would have used an entire year of eligibility for only a portion of one game, the coaching staff has no confidence in Jackson. He will never play a meaningful down at the University of Alabama.
