Nick Saban ate gator tail on recruiting visit with CeCe Jefferson
Nick Saban went on some recruiting visits this week. One thing led to another, and the next thing you know he was eating an alligator.
Saban, who is known for eating oatmeal cream pies for breakfast every day, wouldn’t eat bizarre foods for just anyone. He must feel that five-star defensive end recruit CeCe Jefferson is a special player.
Cant believe coach Saban never had gator tail before lol he loved it!

As Nick Bromberg of Dr. Saturday notes, Rivals has ranked Jefferson the No. 2 defensive end in the nation and No. 13 prospect overall. He has drawn interest from almost all of the other SEC schools, so Saban probably would have eaten deep-fried dog crap if he had to.
Fried alligator may be strange, but it’s nothing compared to what Les Miles ate on a recruiting visit several years back.
