Jay Barker

Jay Barker knows the importance of leadership and teamwork. Jay is the last Alabama quarterback to lead the Alabama Crimson Tide to a National Championship and an undefeated season (1992). Jay was not only a winner on the field, but he is a College legend when it comes to his integrity and leadership off the field.

During Jay’s career at Alabama he became the FCA chapter’s shining leader and example during the years of 1990-95. Jay was a role model who captured the campus and the State of Alabama with his stand against alcohol and drugs and stand for abstinence. As a starting quarterback, he compiled a record of 35-2-1, won All-American honors and the Johnny Unitas Award as the nation's most outstanding quarterback his senior year. FCA Advisor Wayne Atcheson wrote a book on Jay's life entitled In Due Time which was published by The Birmingham News with 62,000 copies in print. A strong leader, Jay led FCA teammates in a prayer session before each game in the shower room that has carried over since his departure in 1994.

Gene Stallings

When then Alabama Athletic Director Hootie Ingram hired Gene Stallings on Jan. 11, 1990 to become Alabama's head coach it was "his own character and accomplishments which earned him the job," Ingram said. Despite all the awards and victories Stallings has collected during his 38 years of coaching, it's the man behind those accolades that receives first mention from those who have been close to him for several years. This was a great reunion for Stallings, who was assistant coach under Alabama's legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant in 1962.

Gene Stallings is a former college and professional football coach best known for winning an NCAA Division I National Championship at the University of Alabama in 1992.
