Title: "Chapman quietly making his mark on Alabama defense" Post by: Chechem on December 23, 2011, 05:19:21 AM Quote Walking through the door as an eighth grader, Josh Chapman had something special. Hoover High School coach Rush Propst never doubted it. http://annistonstar.com/bookmark/16878758?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AnnistonStar%2FTideSports+%28Anniston+Star+Tide+Sports%29It was just a matter of finding the right place for the still-growing rising talent. Soon, his size, speed and brut power made him a can’t-miss defensive lineman. More growth. More strength. More of everything eventually made him a hot commodity for the two SEC schools in the state. Now Chapman, standing 6-foot-1 and weighing 310 pounds, is one game from putting a bow on his five years at Alabama. That raw young talent that stepped into the suburban Birmingham football machine is on the verge of a pro career. He’s the anchor of statistically the best defense in the country and arguably one of the best in Alabama history. |
