After leading his team to a victory two weeks ago, Rodney Johnson told The Gadsden Times he has received interest from Alabama but not an offer.

Dre Kirkpatrick, who played for Alabama from 2009-2011, is a Gadsden (Ala.) Gadsden City alumnus.

“I’m looking to stay around my home state, if not in the my home state,” Johnson said. “Alabama is my dream school. We have a lot of alumni who went to Alabama. To follow in their footsteps would be a great thing.”

Rodney Johnson is going on visits across the South

Rodney Johnson was in Lexington, Ky., for the Wildcats upset victory over Florida. The game was defensive slugfest and a great showcase for the Kentucky defense.

It was a great game for Johnson to attend. He even got to meet rapper Waka Flocka Flame, who’s banger “Grove Street Party” was the unofficial anthem of the 2014 Wildcats football team.
