4* WR Derek Kief Visiting University of Alabama Crimson Tide |
On March 22nd, 2013, junior wide receiver Derek Kief took an unofficial visit to University of Alabama with Adrick Ceasar (father). Derek and Adrick flew out of Cincinnati on March 21st, visited on March 22nd and travelled back to Cincinnati on March 23rd. Derek was provided this opportunity to learn more about the academic programs available, tour the facilities, speak with the coaches and obtain a firsthand glimpse into the Crimson Tide football program which he holds a scholarship offer to play for.
In a recent article dubbed, Kief No Longer Hidden Midwest Gem, Kief reacted to his offer from Alabama:
“It’s a great honor,” Kief said. “Obviously, they’ve won national championships and a lot of the best players go there. It’s an honor to see that they would want me to play there.”
Derek was the only recruit on campus on the 22nd so he received a lot of one-on-one time with the coaches and recruiting staff. Below are some pictures as well as Derek's reaction to the visit.
