After 20 days of practice, Alabama head coach Nick Saban had a special announcement for three student-athletes. Walk-ons Truett Harris, Brandon Moore and Levi Wallace all received an athletic scholarship from the university on Friday, following the team’s 23rd fall camp session.

While both Harris (senior) and Moore (senior) received honors at the tight end position, Wallace (junior) earned his scholarship as a walk-on defensive back. The trio joins redshirt sophomore linebacker Jamey Mosley, who received a scholarship earlier in fall practice.

Alabama is scheduled to face Southern California next week at AT&T Stadium.
