Pete Golding

Alabama linebacker Will Anderson, Jr. gave a young fan the memory of a lifetime this week.

Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding spoke with the media on Sunday and revealed a bit of his strategy for landing top tier recruits.

Unfortunately for the Louisiana-native, Golding was arrested for D.U.I. in the early morning hours after the February signing day. The defensive coordinator addressed his run-in with the law in Sunday's media availability.

Kickoff is just 48 days away, so let's look at a recent Crimson Tide star that was a key piece of the Alabama defense, Phidarian Mathis.

The linebacker chose the Crimson Tide over Texas A&M, Florida, Ole Miss among several other offers. Defensive coordinator Pete Golding furthers his reputation as a strong recruiter as he was the lead staff member on Jefferson's case.

Tony Mitchell, five-star cornerback out of Thompson High School, announced his commitment to Alabama just days after placing the Tide in his top-four schools.

The Crimson Tide picked up its sixth commitment of the 2023 class, landing three-star athlete Brayson Hubbard out of Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Golding was released after posting a $500 bond on Thursday afternoon. He has since released a statement about the incident through his attorney Jason C. Neff.

Alabama fans will always have an opinion on the way the Crimson Tide football program is being run, but recently assistant coaches have been a controversial topic. Offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien and defensive coordinator Pete Golding have been in the hot seat especially after Alabama’s unexpected loss to Texas A&M.

Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding has been nominated for the Broyles award, which is handed out yearly to the nation's top assistant coach.
