TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The day high school seniors begin receiving their college acceptance letters is often an exciting one for everyone involved, but one dad in Chantilly, Virginia was reportedly so proud of his son for being accepted to the University of Alabama he painted an mowed a giant script “A” in their yard to let the whole neighborhood know.
He just wanted to do something cool for my graduation and when I got home last week he was outside with the A in my yard,” said UA class of 2019’s Pearce O’Donnell said. “I thought it was really cool and it was a complete surprise.”
On the University of Alabama’s Class of 2019 Facebook group, where he originally posted the pictures of his front yard, O’Donnell said he will be beginning classes this fall in pursuit of a mechanical engineering degree.
But Pearce O’Donnell isn’t the first member of his family to yell Roll Tide; his mother is an alumna of the University.
