The 29th president of the University of Alabama, Dr. Stuart R. Bell, made major headlines a few months back when he announced he would be stepping down from his post in July and bringing to an end a decade-long tenure at the post.
With July approaching and the end of Bell’s time as the head of The Capstone, everyone is being sure to show their respects to the legendary president.
Count Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne in that camp, who presented Bell today with a very special gift.
Byrne gave Bell an Alabama football jersey signed by him along with Kalen DeBoer, Nate Oats, and more, presenting the soon-to-be former president with the token of appreciation in person and getting an epic picture:
Dropped off a small token of our appreciation to President Bell today.
He has been a great leader for the @UofAlabama and will have an incredible lasting impact for The Capstone. #RollTide 🐘 pic.twitter.com/aq5C3sCy5Y

Bell’s next move could be just about anything, but whatever he ends up doing, that No. 29 Bell jersey is going to be hanging on the wall at his home.
