Nick Saban took into account to have all the football players registered and on Tuesday morning, offensive linemen Chris Owens and Darrian Dalcourt have already served the country well. Owens, a redshirt junior, has been very socially conscious about the state of our world — whether it is the Coronavirus pandemic, social issues or this presidential election.

He has been outspoken on social media and he and Dalcourt voted early.

As more players attend the polls throughout the day, it is awesome to see these young men use their voice to create change.
