Marquise Pruitt
When football was reinstated, I couldn’t describe how excited I was to perform in front of thousands of people again!
Football went away during my freshman year at UAB, and that was extremely difficult. Before then, I got to experience college football games, the intensity of the crowd, and UAB coming together as a whole on Saturdays. When football was reinstated, I couldn’t describe how excited I was to perform in front of thousands of people again! Seeing everyone come together as a family is what I loved most about going to UAB. Ever faithful, ever loyal!
