Alabama’s Drake Nightengale: NCAA should ‘make it right’ for senior athletes –
Nightengale was the Jaguars’ No. 1 starter in both 2019 and
2020 after transferring from junior college, and had posted a 3.09 ERA and 39

drafted by a professional team in June.

I talked to a friend in Alabama.
He was the Friday starter for two years and has a fastball that sits 95.
My friend said he felt he would be a great candidate to move fast through affiliate pens.
