What is this 325lb 6ft 7″ 17-year-old doing?
DJ Playing with the kids
Playing, of course.
Meet DJ Fluker. This big guy is the 2nd ranked offensive tackle recruit in the nation. He’ll be playing football for the Alabama Crimson Tide next Fall. My son and I were fortunate enough to meet DJ at a birthday party, of all places. Originally from Louisiana, DJ and his family were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. His family moved to Baldwin County where this year he is a senior at Foley High School.
DJ and our boy
In his free time, DJ works at Swatters Sports Complex, an indoor facility with batting cages and a soccer field. It was obvious DJ loved playing with the kids.
DJ's size 22 shoes have to be specially made.
Watching DJ with those little boys makes you realize that his heart may be as big as his feet!
The Sabin nation is lucky to have him.
Roll Tide.

How great to e-meet someone who works so hard on and off the field and has such a big heart!
I sent this to my son to show where my fiber world collided with his football world. LOL

Thanks Alabama fans for helping me get it right. Can’t wait for DJ to be playing for the Tide! Roll Tide. Such a nice guy.
