Before deciding to spend his fifth and final year of eligibility at Vanderbilt, Mac Hereford was featured on In My Own Words on Monday with yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine.
The former Alabama wide receiver arrived in the 2016 signing class as a preferred walk-on and was a well-respected glue guy in the locker room. A native of Birmingham, Hereford competed with the likes of Calvin Ridley, Robert Foster, Cam Sims, Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III and DeVonta Smith in practice. Not only did he make them better, but he also provided the Crimson Tide’s defense with great looks on the scout-team in preparing it for opposition.
He was on two Southeastern Conference title teams and a national championship squad in the 2017 season.

Hereford even discussed one of the funniest moments he had with Nick Saban.
