🏈 Jaeden Roberts breaking records: #900 lb squat?

OKAY! Who held the record?

This isn't the first time I've seen this:

Stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready!

Like the "slogans" for summer recruiting, I'm getting this is one for S&C.

 

[TerryP]

I believe it's Anthony Bryant. IF I'm right he beat his record by 140+ lbs.

A comment Ballou made during one day in spring camp caught my attention. I can't remember who told me this...a conversation during that practice led Ballou to say, "none of these guys are going anywhere. The hell we just put them through? And they're here now?" (sic)

I'd heard winter workouts were tougher than usual this year. This seems to support that.

Landon Dickerson reportedly squatted 765 pounds in 2020.
Bart Raulston squatted 800 pounds in 2001.
JC Latham, a current Alabama offensive lineman, is reported to have joined the 1,000-pound squat club.

Does anyone know how thoroughly and for how long Bama has kept track of football strength stats? I’m sure some of the lifts and techniques have changed over the decades, but I’d love to know the correlation between this data and team success. Then again, I imagine such data wouldn’t be easily available, even if it was recorded.

Know personally a guy with PWO on the team. Son told him “worst hell he’s gone through since he’s been there.,,,

Coach Wingo then Coach Caruthers kept track of it during my time. Robert Stewart held the record for most all lifts. It wasn’t a one time max lift, but a certain weight done to exhaustion. Kevin Turner “KT” was the strongest person pound for pound though. Robert was a damn stand up deep freezer with arms and legs with a chest about that thick! I saw 505 on the bench bend the bar in his hands and drop across his chest. He went to the training room, iced for 15-20 minutes then came back and did 540 and said he felt “a little tight”. I said “MF’r! You just had a damn Volkswagen fall on your chest!” At Christmas Break, he benched 425 30+ times! Squatted 525 30+ before overhead pressing it and putting it on the rack! He Power cleaned 325 30+ times with 10 more not counting because he reverse curled the weight!!

Signed as a FB but played Nose. That team in 90 was fun to watch.

Please, Lord, for the love of all things Holy let this dude stay healthy all season.

@UAgrad93 talk about good memories. I'm originally from Dothan and Robert was a small community outside of there. He was from Ashford, but played at a small school on the Bama/Georgia line along the Chattahoochee river. (Columbia, Alabama) Houston County High School. I loved watching him. He was listed at 6' tall, but looked like a midget amongst the other players on the field. He was damn near wide as he was tall.

Actually coached against Houston County in the playoffs when I first got started coaching in the mid 90’s. I was at Fultondale, just north of Bham, and we ran the Wing T. When it was clicking, the run game opened up the play action game. They tried to play us man to man and my QB had one of those games. He finished 12/14 for 265 yards and 2 TDs. His 2 incompletions, one was a drop and the other was spiking the ball to kill the clock. Our run game went for 200+ as well. The next week, we went to Luverne and got throttled! QB was 5/20 with 3 picks!

Yes, waiting for that number 34 to show up next week.

Impressive to say the least.

I've seen where Roberts is hitting the 700+ on BP's ...

I can believe it! I don’t know what it was but I believe Coach Wingo believed in like a 3 rep max, while Carruthers was a % guy.

Yeah, but Robert Stewart.....maybe my favorite unheralded player at UA. Just don't remember him getting a lot of attention...but I'm old.

He didn’t really! Think he came in originally as a LB then flipped to FB or vice versa. Then later, he converted to DL.

BUT THANK GOD THE S&C PROGRAM STEPPED IT UP..
