Alabama senior snapper Carson Tinker had a rough 2011 after he was injured and his girlfriend killed in a tornado back in April.  This season is off to a much better start already as Tinker is considered a solid NFL snapping prospect for the 2013 NFL Draft and has just learned that he will be awarded a scholarship for his final season.

Tinker’s story is yet another great example of the hard working and dedicated athletes that fill college and NFL rosters at the long snapping position.
