TUSCALOOSA, AL — Move over, NIL deals — Alabama football legend Larry Blakeney just raised the bar for giving back to the game.
In a jaw-dropping act of generosity, the Crimson Tide great has donated two brand-new, state-of-the-art “Mighty Buses” to support transportation for high school and college athletes across Alabama.
Yes, you read that right — TWO buses. Not vans. Not used shuttles. Full-size, modern team buses built to move champions.
> “It’s about investing in the future,” Blakeney said. “These young athletes deserve safe, reliable transportation — and to travel with pride.”
Each bus comes fully loaded with premium features: Wi-Fi, plush seating, AC, and even onboard screens — making those long road trips a lot more bearable and a lot more baller.
Blakeney, who carved out his name as both a player and coach, is no stranger to leadership. But this surprise donation has fans calling him a hero all over again — this time for fueling dreams instead of touchdowns.
Social media went wild:
“GOAT move from a true legend.”
“Only in Alabama do the legends still run the game.”
“Larry just put the ‘Tide’ in ‘ride.’”
With this bold move, Larry Blakeney proves once again: Legends don’t retire —they just shift gears.
