Bama’s Miller Forristall on life goals: ‘First and foremost, I want to honor Christ’

During the University of Alabama football program’s weekly student-athlete media availability on Monday, one Crimson Tide player stood out for comments completely unrelated to the upcoming weekend’s game against Arkansas.

During the press conference, a member of the media asked junior tight end Miller Forristall what he wants to do with his life.

The answer blew people away, with Forristall using the broad question as an opportunity to proclaim his Christian faith.

“First and foremost, I want to honor Christ with the way I talk and my actions,” he said. “So, that’s who I’m defined by and one I want to live my life with.”

“I want to honor my parents,” Forristall continued, “and my siblings and the university, because that name is now on me.”

“Which direction that goes, you tell me. But, that’s kind of how I want to attack it,” he concluded.

Reacting to Forristall’s answer, Yellowhammer News special sports contributor Rick Karle quipped, “I have one question after watching this clip: Can my daughter marry this man tomorrow?”

“His answer came from the heart,” Karle added. “Wow… just wow!”
