Former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Trent Richardson takes 17-year-old cancer survivor to her prom - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

Former Alabama running back Trent Richardson granted a 17-year-old cancer survivor her wish, accompanying the Hueytown (Ala.) High School student to her senior prom Saturday night.

Richardson, wearing a white tuxedo, attended the event at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, Ala., with Courtney Alvis, who was wearing a red dress, WBRC-TV reported.
Alvis began receiving chemotherapy treatment a year ago and is now undergoing maintenance chemotherapy.
Her uncle — who had some connections to the University of Alabama — got in contact with some of Richardson's friends, who got the request to the Heisman Trophy finalist.
Richardson, who did not get the chance to attend his own senior prom, said he agreed because his mother is a cancer survivor.
"I did it out of my heart," Richardson said. "I'm lucky to be here with Courtney."

Classy move Trent. Roll Tide.

always like to see stories like this about people doing GOOD things....sadly they seem to be few and far between in this day and age of "do something stupid.....your face is on ESPN and TMZ same day"

Since we're about keeping score, it was Morris Claiborne that bombed the Wonderlic (not lick) test. Honey Badger is Tyrann Mathieu, and he'll be a junior at LSU next year.

Morris Claiborne goes sixth in the draft to the Dallas Cowboys.

Hope he spells his name correctly signing those fat paychecks.
