    Former Alabama Player With Incredible Donation For Hurricane Relief

    By Nazario Pangallo,

    Hurricanes have ravaged Florida and parts of multiple states in the southeastern United States over the past few weeks, and relief efforts have been ongoing since Hurricane Milton's landfall. Numerous organizations and first responders have done their best to combat the storms, which have caused immense damage to the areas they went through.

    Former Alabama Crimson Tide star and first-round draft pick by the Tennessee Titans, JC Latham, is doing his part to give back to his community in this time of need.  The left tackle for the Titans has donated over $75,000 to relief efforts in the eastern Tennessee and Florida areas.

    Although Latham grew up in Wisconsin for most of his upbringing, he eventually moved to Florida to play at IMG Academy before being recruited by Nick Saban to come to Alabama.

    The former five-star recruit was a starter for two of his three seasons in Tuscaloosa, where he quickly lived up to his five-star billing. During his final season, Latham was named to multiple Second Team All-American teams and an All-SEC First Team selection.

    Latham was drafted seventh overall in the most recent NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans, where he has started at left tackle.

    The Titans are currently 1-4, but Latham has played well while switching positions, as he has only allowed one sack over his 300+ snaps this season. Tennessee travels to Buffalo to face the 4-2 Bills on Sunday, where Latham will take on former Alabama superstar Amari Cooper, who will be playing his first game with Buffalo after being traded earlier this week.
