Former UAB football legend Roddy White expressed his disappointment in his alma mater’s performance during a recent game against Army. In a post on social media, White criticized the Blazers for lacking interest in playing and described the situation as “sad.” The game left UAB trailing 34-3 at halftime, potentially leading to the team’s worst start to a season since 2012.
White, considered one of the best players to ever play at UAB, had a remarkable career with the program from 2001 to 2004. He holds several school single-season receiving records and ranks high in career statistics, including second in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. White’s success at UAB led to his selection by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2005 NFL Draft, where he played for 11 seasons as a four-time Pro Bowler.
The former UAB star’s comments on social media reflect his passion for the program and his disappointment in the team’s performance. Despite the current struggles, White’s record-setting career at UAB and subsequent success in the NFL have solidified his place as a legendary figure in both college and professional football. His feedback highlights the high expectations and emotional investment that alumni like White have in their alma mater’s athletic programs.
