Cyrus is a good friend of mine. He is still training and hoping to get another shot, but he is doing great in life outside of football.
thats awesome to hear, i hate seeing anyone fail
That's awesome! Let him know he's still loved by Bama Nation!
Dope 😎 saved that sign on bonus
Stop lying
Life and a relationship with God is more important than football!
Hi sir, Alabama never lost to Clemson in 2013 in The Sugar Bowl.. Their opponent was Oklahoma...
2014 Sugar Bowl but it was at the end of the 2013 season though
@@glownetwork4816 I don't know what you're saying but I do know the first time Alabama and Clemson met was January 2015...
@@toddrichardson8595 nah they met in 2008
@@toddrichardson8595 nah we waxed them in 08
He the one that got abused by Eric Stryker?
Met him and his brother at a bookstore I was working at around the UA campus. I’m no small guy but those dudes could’ve crumpled me up thrown me on top of the building lol
Hahah
I felt the same way when I saw the o-line for my highschool as a kid now they are smaller than I thought back then 😂
I stood behind him in the checkout line at the Target Superstore in Tuscaloosa one day, and yeah, he was huge.
No shame on playing in Canada. Many of the kids we loved watching in college are still balling up in Canada. The CFL is a great league with plenty of talent.
Trent had a stint up there I remember
Yeah but the pay sucks
@@gamingdreams2142 If you getting paid to play football that's a blessing don't matter how much. Shit I'll go be on some team's practice squad for minimum wage 😂
@@FaithfulFumoFan23 to be honest I probably would to because I miss playing football more than anything.
@@gamingdreams2142 same bro
Copyright destroyed this video so i had to re make it. Who should i do next?
Francois my guy
Taylor Martinez! I've always wondered what happened the Nebraska star.
Jeff Driskal
I like going back to the old recruiting classes too while I’m watching college ball on saturdays, I stumbled on Tate forcier, I always wondered what the hell happened to him at Michigan all the sudden, he’s got an interesting family too , like the clausens
Alabama lost the 2013 sugar bowl to Oklahoma not Clemson btw
Great video! He actually didn’t make it to the Guardians in the XFL, was drafted by the team but he and Arie decided not to play before camp. Glad he’s getting a shot in Canada!
Wishing Cyrus & Ari the best in life roll tide
Imagine being the best recruit in bamas history. That’s crazy for any sec school really
Highest rated recruit, to put it more accurately. Not all of them pan out. Just the way it is.
I think he was better than average, but not the best I've seen play the position at Alabama. I think Andre Smith and Cam Robinson were/are better.
Crazy to think with Derrick Henry being the all time high school rusher ever + size / speed combo he wasn't the most highly recruited?
@@ckobo84 don't get me wrong, he was highly recruited. But everyone wanted him to be a linebacker. He wanted to be a RB, and I think Alabama decided to give him an opportunity, but Saban had to convince Henry's grandmother first. And he won her over.
@@ckobo84 true
@@billy7448 Alex leatherwood is better than both
Great Job!
Amazing!
Good job on The video Scott
GREAT CONTENT....
You the best ever bro
Great vid! Keep going!
thank you!
Nice video. Nice comment one Sarah Fullers kick! I am glad I am not the only one who thought it was lame. The Vanderbilt team should be congratulated for letting her play!!!
I'm very disappointed she didn't line up at nose guard or middle linebacker for a few plays and show us what she's really got.
nice vid 👍
Sign from God: Translation - Stack of cash from Bama
Exactly!
Just like every other college
Probably nothing like that load of money that Auburn paid cam Newton for that national title season.
@@jasonsalyers5703 it was proven Auburn didn’t give anything
@@aurobinson9309 really? What's the proof? Cause the last time the NCAA looked the paper trail ended at Cams dads dilapidated churches that got remodel money from a mysterious donor.. since those things are allowed to remain anonymous.. well.. so take your salty AU losing attitude on down the road. Didnt realize I was stepping all over your tail and had you bouncing like Tigger with pooh bear.. guess in your eyes Alabama is the only cheating team, cause they can't be coached and have a better program than the ol gus bus had huh? Your argument is invalid, go home and get ready to get beat up again next year in the Iron bowl.. the only significant bowl game that crap team will go to for the next decade, luckily yall get one every year.. be counting our 18th title in the meantime
He made the NFL. Whatever else happened, congrats to him
If Maryland could just recruit homegrown talent they'd have one of the best programs in the country. Absolutely amazes me how many kids they don't get that come out of DeMatha (which is 5 minutes down the street) and other high schools in the area.
You have a nice Channel
Hang in there big man! Injuries happen that's not the measure of a Man, Never give up!
How blessed does one need to be to have 2 sons with that kind of talent and stature wow 😳
I remember when Iowa was in his top 5 at one point. I was crushed but not surprised of course when he signed with Bama.
He wanted to go to Auburn but somebody got a bag of money.
Cyrus lives here in Arizona! Played poker with him last night, he invests in housing with me. He is going to go to Canada work his way up.
Can you please do a story on Jacory Harris? Or that 2008 Miami hurricanes recruiting class I believe it was.
He was a great player for us at Bama. I couldn't care less about the NFL.
I mean I'm sure he cares and doesn't give a shit what you think.
L human
At least the first brother got 3 years in for the pension. Props to him for trying again in CFL.
I’ll never forget doing Oklahoma’s against him in rec football. Both him and his brother.
@Andy Gygi He was getting thrown to the next state
For my Dad, W.C. who loved Bama!
I bought a football card box and got his auto, made me think of the days when we had him and his brother.
Lets go Riders!
Life goes on! Not for long!
I mistakenly thought this was about the dude they've been "casually looking at" since like middle school in more recent times. Some insane athlete that every school is already falling all over themselves to get. NFL body at like age 13 or something crazy like that.
Who
His height hurt him. Being tall, while being heavy, is too stressful on the knees and hips. Maybe stronger legs would help.
He was the left and right tackle 😂 wild
That’s the problem with 5 star can’t miss recruits. Sometimes they have peaked to early and they don’t take the next step. Big difference in dominating on Friday nights or even Saturday afternoon than on Sundays.
A great kid
I find these stories humorous talking about their careers/bust. They are successful regardless of what sideline critics think. Getting a free education and being drafted in the 1st or 2nd round is winning regardless of their career in the NFL.
I can find any record of him graduating college; although I have read of some going back years later. From reading about his family it seems his desire may have been to get to the NFL quickly to be able to help their situation.
Cyrus was not a flop at Bama! He was awesome. He did not or has not had a great pro career yet.
I just look at comments and see love bots😂😂😂
Hi 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡 💘
th-cam.com/video/MVMAylj5A9w/w-d-xo.html
Bruh
I bet the word striker strikes hella fear in him 🤣
Holy shit these dudes are giant
The Sugar Bowl in 2013 was Bama vs Oklahoma
I really want to see one on Clemson Defensive End KJ Henry who's brother I know
0:24 that’s Arie Kouandjio 😂
You want a crazy career story, research Demetrius Underwood from Fayetteville NC. Incredible talent but did some crazy shyt
Fun fact my 6th grade teacher went to alabama with him and was friends with him he visited our school and i talked football with them
That WAS fun. Thanks for sharing
He was never the same after getting embarrassed by Eric Stryker and OU (not Clemson) in the Sugar Bowl.
"an act of god"
**phat stack of cash**
Exactly what I thought, it's well-known that Bama has the best team money can buy, like Tua's relatively poor family somehow managing to move from Hawaii to Bama after he committed there, sure that's just a coincidence 🙄 but the NCAA president is an SEC good old boy who's buddies with Saban so it's all overlooked.
@@fumpr84MAN you are salty. If I were a betting man I would say your conference is probably mediocre, sounds like PAC whining tbh. If im right you're probably wallowing over the fact that the pac hasn't been relevant in either football OR basketball for like a thousand years. Good luck with that 😉 RTR
"at 6ft 7 it's not like Cyrus would have a choice of what sport to play. Football was 100% to be his future, if not basketball." So, a choice between fb and basketball yet 100% football.
lmao
poorly worded for sure
The Tides
The Tides #1 recruit of all time is in the HOF. His name is Joe Namath.
As a Tennessee fan, I don't think any of us truly know why Alvin was misused. We all just chock it up to Butch Jones not knowing what he was doing
Damn, RIP
Same high school as chase young...
Wow
He had a sign from god is that who signed the check?
th-cam.com/video/MVMAylj5A9w/w-d-xo.html
If you want to go to alabama and they ignore you sign with Auburn and bama will find you
3:50 in Sugar Bowl Loss to OU , Not Clemson
Hi
big epoc
It was eric striker and oklahoma that kicked his ass
Hey if toney mandridge from mich state spelled it wrong but if he can come back why not this kid maybe toney should talk to him
It was Bama vs OU in the sugar bowl not Clemson
A lot of these top recruits peak in HS
Can't really say he peaked in HS when he was still an All American in college against much tougher competition
If I was this guy I would switch to defense. There are a couple of contridictions in this video, but thats not a big deal.
So what ended up being the explanation for his encounter with the police?
If he was never criminally charged with anything we won't ever know unless he tells.
I think you meant Oklahoma not Clemson.
The #1 ranked prospect in Bama’s history wasn’t even #1 in his class?
He had the misfortune of being in the same class as Jadevon Clowney. Who is the highest rated college recruit since they started assigning the scores to them. Clowney was considered a once in a lifetime type prospect.
@@yuki3056 he was looking like it in college too he just can’t get to the next level in the nfl
The Bots
The Brockermeyer brothers are the next Kouandjio brothers
Amen!
He played for buffalo for a season or two he was a 2nd rd pick by em
Julio Jones is the biggest commit ever
Dematha highschool probably got more pro athletes then any highschool
so sad. roll tide.
Bama played OU not Clemson in that Sugar Bowl.
Cyrus gave up the 3 sacks against Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl not Clemson
Anyone know where the Nuclear Power Plant is that this dude and his brother grew up near? Cause I’m moving there. I think I’ve got one or two more kids in me. Lol
Honestly though what your watching here is the end result of someone getting ahold of these two guys when they were young and literally pushing them in the direction they went. Never asking if that was what their hearts were telling them to do. Talent and upside got em to the show, but they didn’t have the drive or desire to preserve thru the cut throat business that was and is the NFL. They didn’t LOVE football, it was meal ticket for having been genetically blessed.
They played the game because they saw how much money they could make. Like a lot of guys. I hope both are happy and living good lives today. There’s more to life than sports. Ppl should be applauded for following their heart. Not looked down on.
Should go back to school get his degree and live a long productive life.
Go riders
Pooping on company time is amazing. Probably top 10 feelings. Im sorry.
Facts!
I have a friend who played 10yrs in NFL.
I asked him
Why do so many great college players
Do nothing in NFL ?
He said college is for fun
Pros is for a paycheck
Way different.
True
So what it means is higher competition because of people giving their all?
@@dirtydan7668 pretty much
Alabama ended the 2013 season playing and losing to Oklahoma in the 2014 Sugar Bowl Alabama didn’t play Clemson until the 2016 National Championship
2015
Bama first player Clemson in the Saban era in 2008 to kick off the season.
@@Aaron-wq3jzthe 2015 championship was played at the end of the 2014 season Ohio State and Oregon which was played in Arlington, Texas
Your right, I remember that game vividly cause Trevor knight found a 4th gear magically out of nowhere
@@chris7477 Bama wasn’t there. They didn’t care. After that heartbreak to Auburn. They just didn’t care enough. They felt as if they were robbed of a Natty. And i can’t blame them.
How in the world was Brodie Croyle a 5 star?
Soooo basically what happened to them is what happened to 90% of the Alabama players once they get to the NFL...they don’t do anything
So how does crack figure into all of this?
The check didn't clear
Ahem...they lost to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, not Clemson.
Clemson beat Ohio State in the Orange bowl that year
You try to convince people to subscribe because you put "full time work hours into a TH-cam channel" (definitely a new one for me) but then you don't even get Alabama's Sugar Bowl opponent right. C'mon man.
Btw this wouldn't have been a comment if you hadn't claimed that at the beginning...
i kinda had identical thoughts.
I grew up with Cyrus and I still eat breakfast with him every day
Can eagles get him and try him out their offensive line is atrocious!
He’s probably retired and collecting social security now, looks like he was 45 in college. 😂
I thought the same thing!
Just another player paid by Alabama.
This video should be.... “why you shouldn’t go to bama”. They don’t develop you as a player. Use your raw talent and throw you to the sharks hahahaahahhaha
Oklahoma not Clemson lol in that sugar bowl
Oklahoma beat Alabama in the 2014 sugar bowl not clemson
4 of bamas top 5 recruits failed in the nfl. Crazy
Never heard of him... Alot of Alabama's recruits are peaked out in college and get get any better. The players I would want as a coach are hard working players striving to get better and still developing. These 5 star recruits are arrogant and don't like advice so most of them end up in jail instead of the NFL.
Alabama lost to OU in the 2014 sugar bowl
We lost to Oklahoma....
Andre smith was better
