One day after helping the Baltimore Ravens secure a win over the Cincinnati Bengals, former Alabama running back Derrick Henry was named the NFL Player's Association Community MVP for Week 10.

Earlier this year, Henry helped host a back-to-school giveaway at Curtis Bay Elementary in Baltimore, but he still wanted to do more. After reaching back out to the school to see what they needed help with, Henry purchased winter coats for all 465 students at the elementary school.

This is Henry's first season in Baltimore after eight seasons with the Tennessee Titans. He leads the league in rushing yards and touchdowns.

Today's Crimson Tide Schedule:

  • Baseball scrimmage vs. Clemson, Tuscaloosa, Ala., 12 p.m.
  • Football at LSU, Baton Rouge, La., 6:30 p.m., ABC

Crimson Tide Results:

  • Men's tennis at ITA Sectional Championships: Alabama’s Roan Jones and Andrii Zimnokh advanced to the quarterfinals at the ITA Sectional Championships after recording singles wins on Friday.
  • Swimming and Diving: The women’s team defeated the No. 13 LSU Tigers, 157.50-142.50, and the Florida State Seminoles, 196.50-103.50. The No. 20 Alabama men downed No. 19 LSU, 167-133, and No. 22 Florida State, 191-109.

Did You Notice?

  • Former Alabama guard JD Davison nearly had a triple-double for the Maine Celtics on the opening day of the G-League with 31 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists.
  • Brandon Miller had seven 3-pointers for the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, tying a career record. He now has passed the 200 made 3-pointers marker in his career in just 79 games, making him the third-fastest player in NBA history to reach that milestone.
  • Auburn basketball has a big road game at No. 4 Houston on Saturday night. The Tigers were travelling to Houston on Friday night when the plane got diverted back to Auburn because of a fight on board. The game is still currently scheduled to be played on Saturday.

On This Date in Crimson Tide History:
