The picture above says it all. Hard work. Climbing to a place where maybe you didn’t think you would ever get again. The people who helped you climb, sharing in the joy. That was Trey Sanders and the Coach who led his rehab, Jeremy Gsell. Longtime Alabama photographer Kent Gidley captured the moment. Kent is great at his job. I’m thankful for that because I love the moments Kent grabs and this is one of my favorites.

The story of Trey Sanders rehab is captured by Aaron Suttles for those that subscribe to The Athletic. ($ub) READ HERE
