Former Alabama star visits Adullam House

Kids at Adullam House in Wetumpka were treated to a special visit Wednesday when former Alabama football star O.J. Howard came to campus to hang out for the morning. Howard, who now plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL, grew up in Prattville and returned home for some time during the offseason but he wanted to spend that time giving back to his home community.

“Home will always hold a special place in your heart,” Howard said. “So when I get an opportunity to do stuff like this, it’s always exciting. You want to show the kids they can be who you are or even better in whatever they want to do.”
