Alright, folks, gather ’round! Today, I wanna talk about my little adventure diving into the stats of Rob Ezell, a name that’s been popping up a lot lately in the college football scene. I got curious, so I decided to dig in and see what all the fuss was about. Let me tell you, it was quite the journey.
First off, I started with the basics. Who is this guy? Turns out, Rob Ezell used to play football for the University of Alabama, mainly as a quarterback, but also sometimes as a wide receiver. He was a walk-on player from 2007 to 2010. That’s already pretty cool, right? Playing for Alabama is no small feat.
After gathering basic information about him, I felt I needed to see what this guy could do during his playing time, so I went to find his playing career stats. I found some websites that show statistics for college football players and found his name. But sadly, there was not much to see. Just some basic info about his height and weight, nothing impressive.
But here’s where it gets interesting. After his playing days, Rob didn’t just hang up his cleats. He jumped into coaching. I tracked down that his coaching career kicked off right back at Alabama in 2011, where he was a student assistant. I mean, starting your coaching career at one of the biggest football programs in the country? That’s a heck of a start.
Then I went on researching his coaching career. He eventually became the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the University of South Alabama, a position he started in 2024. So this guy went from a walk-on player to a key coach in a relatively short amount of time.
But I dug a bit deeper and found something else that makes Rob Ezell stand out. The man is known for his spot-on impersonation of Nick Saban, the legendary former head coach of Alabama. I couldn’t find any videos, but the thought of him doing a Saban impression cracked me up. It added a whole new layer of personality to this guy’s story.
Here’s what I found out:
- Rob Ezell played quarterback and wide receiver at Alabama from 2007-2010.
- He started his coaching career as a student assistant at Alabama in 2011.
- He is now the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of South Alabama, as of 2024.
- He’s known for his Nick Saban impersonation.
So, that’s my little deep dive into Rob Ezell. From a walk-on player at Alabama to a rising star in the coaching world, with a knack for impersonating one of the greatest coaches ever. It’s a pretty cool story, and it was fun piecing it all together. Keep an eye on this guy, folks, I have a feeling we’ll be hearing his name a lot more in the future.
