  08/27/21 - ILB Bumper PoolrSr/2023, Arkansas

  Just his name alone makes him interesting. There aren't many Bumper Pools in the world. The senior linebacker for the Arkansas Razorbacks has one of the best names in college football, no doubt. He and Alabama freshman defensive back Kool-Aid McKinstry are two easy picks for the All-SEC name team. Throughout the summer, The Tuscaloosa News is taking a look at an interesting player or person around each Alabama football opponent: not necessarily the best, the worst or the most important person. Instead, the focus for this series is on who's interesting.

Pool earns that label solely based on his name. No elevator pitch needed. The mention of his name leads to immediate curiosity. Believe it or not, it's his legal first name, per Bob Holt of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. It wasn't Pool's given name at birth, though. That was James Morris Pool. But his dad starting calling him Bumper almost right away. "I didn't even know how to spell my full name when I was going through preschool," Pool told Holt. "A teacher asked me to spell my name one day, and I wrote Bumper because that's what my name was to me." Once the linebacker turned 16, he made the switch permanent. His full name is now Bumper James Morris Pool. He's got more going for him than a cool name. Pool put together a strong junior season in 2020 for the Razorbacks as he tallied 101 total tackles. His 11.2 tackles per game ranked second in the SEC. - Montgomery Advertiser
