The First and Ten Club of Alabama helps University of Alabama student athletes transition to post-athletic careers upon graduation from the University.

Wally Barthel and Coach Gene Stallings

The organization is made up of about 125 former athletes, alumni and friends of the University who are committed to increasing awareness among the student athletes of potential career opportunities.

Originally founded under legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, the group also awards an annual scholarship to a graduating senior who is pursuing a masters level degree. We believe in helping athletes acknowledge and prepare for life after athletics.

A large part of our efforts are geared toward educating athletes during our annual Career Day each spring. The Career Day is designed to give athletes the chance to learn about different career fields and talk with professionals who work in those areas, including former University of Alabama athletes.

This site is designed to help athletes, former athletes, alumni and friends of the University learn more about our organization. Thank you for your interest in the First and Ten Club of Alabama.
